A man and a woman are dead in a pair of shootings in the Tenleytown neighborhood in Northwest D.C. Tuesday morning, according to interim D.C. Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll.
A D.C. Police officer shot and killed a male suspected of killing the woman after chasing him onto a bus on Wisconsin Avenue in Northwest D.C.
The male suspect allegedly shot the woman in the 3600 block of Wisconsin Avenue, NW and boarded a northbound Metro bus at Porterhouse Street NW, Carroll said. D.C. police chased the suspect, pulled the bus over and boarded it near the 3900 block of Wisconsin Avenue, evacuating the bus while searching for the suspect.
Update: This is an officer-involved shooting. One suspect has been pronounced dead.
Media staging: Wisconsin Avenue and Upton Street, NW, at the northwest corner of the intersection.

The suspect drew his gun when officers confronted him, Carroll said, but police fired on him first.
The female victim and the suspect, a man, knew each other “domestically,” Carroll told reporters at a news conference, adding that the exact nature of their relationship isn’t immediately clear police said.
