WASHINGTON - A 15-year-old is under arrest and a D.C. police officer is recovering after a firefight early Saturday morning in Northeast.
Police say officers was called to the 700 block of Crittenden Street, NE for a report of a male with a gun, around 5 a.m.
Several officers approached the back of the house, and entered through the back yard when a 15-year-old suspect opened fire.
"The suspect had mounted a second floor awning roof, and ambushed the officers," says D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier.
"There was an exchange of gunfire, the suspect we believe fired at least five rounds, striking the officer at least three times," adds Lanier.
One of the bullets was stopped by the officer's bullet-proof vest.

No doubt this is another product of the welfare state. The lawyers will be lined up at the door to defend this "poor innocent victim of society"
Maybe they should do the same to him. When they walk him into the court house, have an officer mount on a second floor awning roof and shoot at him.
