A 21-year-old resident of Northwest, DC was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside the home, carrying a pistol without a license, possession of unregistered ammunition, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and three counts of possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

A handgun and a rifle were recovered by responding officers.  

The suspect is being held at the DC Jail pending his next hearing, which is scheduled on Sept. 16.

Police are still investigating the case.
