Five Arrested After Shooting at D.C. Police

Everyday when police put on their uniforms they know that they could become a victim of the crime to which they are called to investigate.  It is part their duty and their sworn service to the public.  Officers in Washington D.C. responded to a report of gunshots near Martin Luther King Elementary School, a little after midnight on Tuesday.

The officers were first alerted to the scene by ShotSpotter, a system which uses sensors to detect gunfire.  If anything is picked up, authorities are notified and officers dispatched.
