We just got the Police Report here minutes ago so things changing the narrative of what exactly took place and d. C. Tonight officially confirming this was a robbery. However, theyre not saying if the person who called 911, the complainant and the suspect knew each other. Theyre saying that the call came here from the exxon gas station and thats where the confusion was whether in fact the gas staying was robbed. The gas station itself was not robbed this afternoon. However, they tried to get a better picture of what exactly took place. They looked for Surveillance Video and did not find any. So theyre relying on witness statements and their investigation to figure out exactly what took place here this afternoon when they got the call just afternoon. Now youll see this video from earlier today. The man was arrested by police. He was taken in for questioning and i cording to this new Police Report, the complainant says the man driving a bmw with pennsylvania tags snatched his bag full of cash. Thats when the suspect and another man fled in that bmw but only made it several yards before losing losg into a wooden median. Thats when the complainant caught up with the suspect, but a second man in the car took off with a bag of cash filling what police are saying was a significant amount of money down on reservoir road. A witness saw the imhoation, says his gut told him to intervene and was able to keep the first suspect until cops arrived. This is how he says it all played out. They were screaming between each other to run and i started asking the Fire Department to help me to top them to run them. But the only reason i could stop them was because the big guy wouldnt let go of the small guy because he kept on saying if he didnt get his money back he was go to kill him. So all i had to do was stop the one guy so i physically stopped him from getting away and then we heard the cops finally coming and then i say, look, if you try to run im taking you out. And then the cops pulled up and then of course they ran down there and handcuffed him and there was lots of these stacks of money and it was like theres money and then rhode island was black paper and there was like this powder all over it. I have no idea what it was. And then you know, the guy that ran away holding the bag, it meant a lot to him because like my wife said he didnt want to get rid of that bag and he wasnt leaving it behind. Police say that amount of cash was so significant they had to call in the cash for d. C. Police. Tonight the third man who took off with the bag of cash hes being called a person of interest. Police have yet to find this man. Still no word if all three of them knew each other. Live tonight in northwest d. C. , marina maracco, fox5 local news.

When youre in a situation like that you probably have to gauge everything as it unfolds. He says he lenders police that the suspects are known drug suspect who live in the area. They were all addicts and they were looking for stuff to steal to feed their habit. For months and months theres been neighbors who have been talking cars getting broken into.

A theres a lot of big issues looming, including a possible congress shutdown, healthcare reform and the building of the wall that the president vowed he would build. Reporter roar theres only two paths for President Trump to score a big legislative win before the first 100 days are up he can get funding for the wall or get house representatives to vote on a revised obama care. Funding for a border wall is a deal breaker and House Speaker paul ryan says that he doesnt have the votes or the time to pass healthcare reform by friday.

Would he sign a bill yet he said i dont know. His budget director essentially said the same thing on fox news sunday. I dont to a shutdown. Shutdown is not a desired, its not a l too. Its not something that we want to have. We want our priorities funded and one of the biggest priorities during the campaign was Border Security and keeping americans safe and part of that was a border wall. Marco rubio are worried that this spending bill show down could turn into an actual government shutdown. The last thing we can afford is to send a message to the world that the United States government by the way is only partially functioning. That would just have catastrophic impact in my view or certainly very destabilizing impact on global affairs. We should keep that in mind.
