A gunman barged into a home in Washington, D.C., and began shooting, injuring 3 police officers.

Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said it all started around 07:30 (local time, 14:30 Greek time) when officers came under fire upon arriving at the scene.
“Three police officers have bullet wounds, which are not considered life-threatening. All of them have been taken to an area hospital for treatment,” a police spokesperson told Fox News.
The gunman barricaded himself inside the house and refuses to surrender.
