"We can confirm that a member of U.S. Park Police was shot in the 5000 blk of Queens Stroll Place SE," the D.C. Police Union posted on X.
The officer was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition following the shooting, according to the D.C. Police Union. Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser later provided an updated assessment, stating the officer "was treated for his injuries, which are thankfully non-life threatening."
Authorities cordoned off multiple surrounding blocks in response to the incident, halting both foot and vehicle traffic in the area, local media reported.

No arrests have been publicly announced as the investigation remains ongoing.
