WJLA is reporting a police-involved shooting at a mental health group home on 800 block of 7th Street NE.

Officers say they responded to a call for an assault in progress at 10:45 a.m. At the group home, a man allegedly attacked one of the police officers with a knife and a pole, at which point officers opened fire. The shooting victim was taken to an area hospital in critical condition. An officer sustained minor injuries in the scuffle.

Police then found a stabbing victim inside the group home. WJLA reports the shooting victim is the primary suspect in that stabbing. No details yet available on the condition of the stabbing victim.

Given the nature of the group home as serving the mentally ill, we’re sure the City Paper’s Jason Cherkis will be all over this story. Cherkis owned the aftermath of the police-involved fatal shooting of mentally ill Logan Circle resident David Kerstetter.
