A carjacking suspect was fatally shot by police last night after he led
authorities on a wild rush-hour chase through the District and <a
href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Prince+George%27s+County?tid=informline"
target="">Prince George's County</a>, fled on foot and then held a
hostage at gunpoint, authorities said.
</p>
<p>
A little after 6 p.m., police surrounded the gunman in the <a
href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Riverdale?tid=informline"
target="">Riverdale</a> area of Prince George's as he aimed his weapon
at a teenager's head, D.C. Assistant Police Chief <a
href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Diane+Groomes?tid=informline"
target="">Diane Groomes</a> said."<br>
</p>
<p>...<br>
"At Kenilworth Avenue and Riverdale Road, the station wagon crashed
into
a median and the gunman fled on foot, weapon in hand, Groomes said.
</p>
<p>The man spotted two teenagers who had just left a Hispanic bakery.
One teen fought the gunman and ran away, Groomes said. The gunman
pointed the weapon at the other teen's head, Groomes said.
</p>
<p>After the officers fired shots, the gunman was taken to the
hospital. His age was not known last night, and police did not release
his name.
</p>
<p>
A .40-caliber gun was recovered at the scene, Groomes said."<br>
