The incident followed a traffic crash on the 1800 block of Potomac Avenue, where an altercation led the detective to fire his service weapon, injuring the other driver, who survived with non-life-threatening injuries. The detective has been placed on administrative leave, and the case is under investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau and the District Investigations Division.
