WASHINGTON — Shots were fired aboard a Green Line Metro train Saturday morning nearby a Southwest D.C. Metro station, according to the Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD).
The MTPD received the report of the shooting around 7:30 a.m. Officers were informed that the shooting happened aboard the Metro train in the vicinity of the Waterfront Metro station.
The train was located and held at the Fort Totten Metro station for investigation.
Police informed WUSA9 that based on video review and witness statements, it seems as if two Metro riders were involved in a physical fight aboard the train before the person of interest fired several shots.
