On Oct. 4, DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow found a non-fatal shooting defendant mentally competent to stand trial.
Andrew Parsons, 28, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon in connection to a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Aug. 9 on the 800 block of Southern Avenue, SE.
According to court documents, Parsons was involved in an argument with a person he knew and shot him several times in the legs. The injuries required a surgical repair.
During the Oct. 4 mental observation hearing, Judge Pasichow described Parsons as “a danger” to society, and she “den[ied] the request for release.”
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct. 10.
