A D.C. police officer remains in critical, but stable, condition after being struck by a car Thursday night in Adams Morgan. A second police officer is in fair condition and a traffic control officer employed by the District Department of Transportation has been released from the hospital.

Police arrested two suspects, both from Virginia, on the scene. Brandon Figures-Mormon, 22, was charged with intent to kill and possession of an unregistered firearm. Dwayne Nicholas Taylor, 23, was charged with possession of an unregistered firearm. Police said they recovered an assault rifle from the vehicle, but they have no evidence to suggest that it was a terrorist event.

It was a “long and tough night [for] the MPD family,” Police Chief Peter Newsham said in a tweet this morning.

A white pick-up truck barreled through Adams Morgan around 9 p.m. last night. It swerved around a Metrobus into a lane of oncoming traffic, according to witness accounts. Newsham said that the pick-up was six or seven cars behind the bus when it headed into the median, hitting the bike patrol and traffic officers. Photos showed the officers’ bikes mangled in the street.

The pick-up then kept traveling up 18th Street, going through the intersection at Columbia Road, before hitting a large truck outside of Philz Coffee in the 1800 block of Adams Mill Road.

JP Marsten was inside the cafe at the time, picking up the compost, and came out to find that the truck he’d purchased earlier the same day had been the white pick-up’s final obstacle. “If this truck wasn’t here, he would’ve gone through the glass,” Marsten said. “He would’ve been in there or hit people on the sidewalk.”

18th Street NW was closed overnight between Columbia Road and California Street, but it is now open to vehicular traffic.

On Thursday evening, the police chief and Mayor Muriel Bowser rushed to Washington MedStar Hospital, where the officers are being treated.

“You got two of our officers doing exactly what we ask them to do in the Adams Morgan community,” Newsham said last night. “I feel horrible. Thankfully nobody else was injured, but I have two of my officers in there, unnecessarily in the hospital.”

He said this morning that one officer is likely to be released today, but they are waiting on word about the second. “We’re very concerned about the prognosis.”
