Oxon Hill shooting comes days after ‘crackdown’ on Washington D.C crime

A report via the Hill told of National Guard troops and federal officers being most prominently placed in tourist hot spots and other wealthier parts of the city.
Of the 556 arrests tallied by the White House since it began increasing federal law enforcement presence on Aug. 7, nearly half of the arrests, 233, have been classified by the administration as migrants without legal status, a White House official said Tuesday according to the Hill.
Police said Wednesday’s shooting remains under investigation. No information of any suspect(s) was immediately forthcoming.
