Police take down stabbing, arson suspect at Maryland's National Harbor
Police say around 8:20 a.m. officers responded to a stabbing call, where a man and a woman were found with "critical stab wounds."
"Before fleeing that scene, the suspect also set fire to the apartment," Prince George's County Police Department Chief Malik Aziz said during a media conference. "Officers learned the stabbing was domestic-related, and the suspect was known to the victims."
Less than two hours later, "Officers responded to the National Harbor where they encountered the suspect in that earlier stabbing at St. George Blvd and Potomac Passage. The suspect was still armed with a knife and moved towards an officer."
Two officers discharged their duty weapons, Aziz said. The suspect was struck an unknown number of times. The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.
No officers were injured in the incident.
The stabbing victims are in critical but stable condition, police say.
Investigators have not yet confirmed the relationship between the stabbing victims and suspect. Identities have not been released.
The Maryland Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division is now in charge of the investigation.

LAPD seizes cache of guns during domestic violence call in downtown
The Los Angeles Police Department seized a small cache of guns during a domestic violence investigation inside a downtown apartment unit. "One of the sure ways to get firearms seized is being involved in domestic violence," Capt. Lillian Carranza, who oversees the downtown LA station, post on X. "Under California Penal Code § 18250, officers responding to a domestic violence call are required to seize any firearms or ammunition. They must be held for at least 48 hours." After arriving at the apartment in the corner of West 8th Street and Francisco Street, police found seven guns during a protective sweep of the unit. Officers confiscated seven guns, including several rifles and two ghost guns. LAPD said there were four people inside the apartment, none of whom claimed ownership of the weapons. Officers did not arrest anyone as of Wednesday. LAPD's Central Station handed over the case to the department's Gang and Narcotics Division.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating claims that the Washington, D.C., police department manipulated crime data to publish more favorable stats claiming the city is far more safe than what is being said about it. This, just over a week after President Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department to respond to a series of high-profile killings, violent attacks and car-jackings. Federalizing the MPD also included sending hundreds of National Guard members and various federal law enforcement agents from various states to the nation's capital.
