A man was shot and killed by a D.C. police officer on Friday night in the Georgetown neighborhood.<\/p>\n

At a news conference, Executive Assistant Police Chief Andre Wright said around 6:45 p.m. officers responded to 4400 block of Reservoir Road NW for reports of a “residential alarm.”<\/p>\n

The person who triggered the alarm, Wright said, was the subject of a civil protection order and “should not be inside of the residence.”<\/p>\n

Wright said the man and the resident of the home knew each other and that the restraining order had been in place since Oct. 30 after “several” other incidents. Wright said the suspect and the resident were previously roommates, but two months ago, the man began to “attack, make assaults and threaten the resident.”<\/p>\n

Police officers talked to the man for over 20 minutes, “repeatedly ordering him to exit the home,” Wright said.<\/p>\n

Police eventually were able to enter the home and verbally ordered the man to identify himself, when the man “suddenly lunged at the officers with a knife and a screwdriver” in his hands.<\/p>\n

An officer discharged his firearm and fatally shot the man. No officers were injured.<\/p>\n

The involved officers have been placed on administrative leave as the investigations are carried out.<\/p>\n

Wright said the suspect was arrested at the same Reservoir Road home on Thursday for violating the civil protection order.<\/p>\n

“We tried to negotiate the decedent’s surrender. Unfortunately, it ended in this manner,” Wright said. “There was no mistake that these were police officers … when we entered the home.”<\/p>\n
