WASHINGTON: "Police in Washington, D.C., fatally shot a woman wearing a special police officer's uniform on Saturday who was reportedly armed with a gun and acting erratically, authorities said. Officers responded to multiple reports of a shooting just before 6 a.m. Saturday morning in northwest D.C. and found one woman who had been shot at least once in a home, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee said during a press conference. Officers rendered first-aid and she was taken to a hospital. Police found a second woman on the porch of a neighbor's home, allegedly smashing windows and brandishing a firearm. She was wearing a special police officer's uniform depicting a name that officers later learned was not hers, Contee said.

"The officers asked the person to put down the firearm that she was in possession of. They ordered the person to the ground. Ultimately the person in the special police officer's uniform was shot by a metropolitan police officer," Contee said. The woman in uniform was not an official special police officer, the department later announced on Twitter. A special police officer is a private law enforcement professional commissioned by the city. They usually work as security guards, Contee said."
