A D.C. police officer shot and killed a man who had earlier barricaded himself inside an apartment with a rifle and a woman who appeared to be held against her will, according to D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee.

Police later identified the man as 26-year-old Vedo Hall of Northeast and Noah Rathbun as the officer involved in the shooting. Rathbun has been placed on routine administrative leave pending an investigation.

The shooting took place near the Congress Heights Metro station around 3 p.m., after police had responded to a barricade situation in the 1100 block of Valley Avenue SE. Police say officers responded to the home around 11 a.m. on Monday, but Hall evaded them and slipped out with the woman through a broken window.

Officers with MPD’s Seventh District later spotted Hall and the woman in the 1300 block of Alabama Avenue SE. Police allege that Hall raised a long gun before Rathbun shot him. Hall was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Police say the woman with him is physically fine, but clearly shaken, and no one else was hurt.

Rathbun has been on the force for five years, Contee said. The department says it will release his body-worn camera footage within five business days, as required by law. But D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Hall’s family have decided not to allow for the public release of the footage, according to reporting from NBC4. The law allows the footage to be withheld if the family of a victim objects and the mayor agrees. Bowser does have the authority to override the objection.

MPD also released an image of the firearm they say Hall was holding: a rifle fitted with a drum magazine.

Contee said Monday afternoon that the woman involved was taken into custody to be interviewed before she’s reunited with her family.

“They were involved in some type of relationship, and that’s all we know at this time,” Contee told reporters.

The police chief also refuted rumors that had emerged online that Hall was using a baby as a human shield to protect himself from police.

It is the second fatal police shooting in the past 30 days. An officer shot a man at an apartment building in Southwest after what MPD said was a “domestic dispute.”

During his confirmation hearing in March, lawmakers grilled Contee — a longtime MPD member who only recently accepted the city’s top police job — over the department’s handling of use-of-force investigations. Activists have called on Contee and the D.C. Council to scale back the city’s police presence and reassign certain police duties to unarmed social services professionals.

This story was later updated to include the name of the decedent as provided by MPD. It was updated again to include the name of the officer.
