An incident occurred in Washington DC where a mentally ill patient went on a rampage and was shot and killed by police. The incident began at 6:45 a.m. on the 24th when a report was received that there was a person with mental problems on board 2500 Benning Road.
An ambulance arrived, and while the mental patient was being transferred to the hospital, the mental patient attacked the medical staff inside the ambulance, started a riot, and ran outside.
Afterwards, he tried to attack the police with something like an iron bar but was shot by the police at the intersection of North Capital Street and New York Abbey View and died at the scene.
The mentally ill patient was identified as 41-year-old Clifford Brooks (residing in the Northeast), and the police officer who killed Mr. Brooks was reported to be a 31-year-old veteran police officer.
