Sources tell ABC7 that the officer is in custody and that the gun used in the shooting was his service weapon.
There is also a report from sources that the victims in the shooting were transgender.
“I am deeply troubled by the apparent circumstances surrounding this incident and await the results of a full MPD investigation,” said Mayor Vincent Gray. “These are serious charges, and they are particularly disturbing to have been brought against one who is sworn to protect and serve.”

The incident occurred at 1st and Pierce streets around 5:25 a.m. Friday.
