On April 3rd, six people were injured during an unprovoked stabbing spree in Northeast Washington, D.C. The suspect, who was reportedly under the influence of an unknown substance, began his attacks around 3:20 p.m. on Montello Avenue, near Gallaudet University. Four women and two men were targeted at random, with one woman being an acquaintance of the suspect.
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers responded quickly, arriving within a minute of the first call, and located multiple victims suffering from stab wounds. Two good Samaritans who tried to intervene were also injured in the process, highlighting the bravery of those who attempt to help in dangerous situations.
Thankfully, all six victims are receiving medical care, and the suspect was arrested at the scene after stabbing himself. A knife was recovered nearby, and investigations are ongoing to understand the cause of this senseless violence.
This tragic event underscores the need for continued support in addressing substance abuse and mental health challenges in our communities. We commend the swift response of MPD and the heroic actions of the two good Samaritans. Please remember, while stepping in to help is courageous, these situations can be unpredictable and dangerous.
Stay safe and vigilant, and let’s continue to support our law enforcement officers who work tirelessly to protect and serve.

👥 Why Peer Support Matters: It's More Than Just a Listening Ear
Being an officer can be isolating, especially when the job gets heavy. But peer support is here to break that isolation.
🚔 Safe Space to Talk – No judgment, no stigma—just officers supporting each other.
🛡️ Real Understanding – You don’t need to explain yourself to someone who’s been through it.
💙 Together We Heal – Peer support isn’t just a resource, it’s a lifeline.
