17:40 - Woodlawn Shopping Center in FCPD Station 2 (Mt. Vernon) - Hop in stolen Dodge Challenger. Victim saw a Black male get in his car and drive away. Car wasn't on and the vic doesn't know how he started it. No direction of travel. Units checking the area.

17:52 - 6700 bl. Columbia Pike in FCPD Station 4 (Mason) - Employee of a business was trying to kill himself with a knife and a coworker wrestled the knife away! Initially it was reported that the coworker had been stabbed but that wasn't true in the end. Sounds like no one is seriously hurt.

10:44 - Mason (FCPD Station 4) - Male threatening his parents with a gun. Units arrived on scene and had the other occupants of the house come outside, then contacted the subject via phone. Unclear what happened; Car 4B simply told dispatch "everyone is accounted for" and "to break this down." Channel was then cleared. Odd.

Earlier today in Franconia - Patrol units responded to a suspicious person in a parking lot. Vehicle turned out to be stolen and they requested ACE. While ACE was responding to set up on the car, plainclothes Opioid Investigations detectives came over the radio and apparently had been surveilling the subject patrol had responded on and had finally noticed the cruisers. They waited for the subject and his girlfriend to come out and busted the girl at the scene. Main suspect ran but the detectives caught him after a brief foot pursuit.
