WASHINGTON - Police say a teen is dead after he allegedly tried to rob a man on a D.C. street and had his own gun turned on himself.
The shooting happened at 10:43 a.m. Wednesday near the intersection of Langston Place and Ainger Place in the southeast.
Officers say a 18-year-old Channel Johnson approached a 22-year-old man in the 2400 block of Ainger Place and attempted to rob him with a shotgun. A struggle took place and Johnson was shot with his own gun.
Officers say the 22-year old remained at the scene and was cooperating with police.
Johnson was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
Detectives in the southeast were busy with shootings throughout the day Wednesday.

Yay, fight back.
One thing to keep in mind this wasn't a teen, he was a young man an adult. He deserved what happened to him.
I am sick of the media sensationalizing these killings to promote gun control. An 18 year old is an adult not a kid or a teen.
