The DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) responded to reports of gunfire a little after 2 a.m. on April 22. The investigation revealed that “the defendant had escalated an argument over clothes into an armed assault.”

Three separate cameras recorded the incident, and law enforcement discovered a disassembled AR-15 in his attic. They charged Moody with two felonies, “assault with a dangerous weapon” and “possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.”
Last week, Judge Llyod Nolan set Moody free on house arrest, even though the judge also repeatedly agreed with prosecutors about the severity of the teen’s alleged crimes.
In a transcript obtained by WUSA9, the judge stated, “The concern I have is that this action could have killed someone.”

A DC judge released Amonte Moody, 18, who was caught on camera firing 26 shots from an AR-15 at a car full of people.

A prosecutor from the U.S. Attorney’s Office told the judge, “I think we all know that we’re lucky that this wasn’t a homicide.”

Judge Nolan let Moody go on 24/7 house arrest at his stepdad’s place in Maryland with a GPS ankle monitor. The judge also said Moody had to stay away from the people in the car he was firing at.

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has filed an emergency order to reverse the judge’s decision to grant Moody’s pre-trial release. In their motion, they said, “The defendant [Moody] fired 26 rounds, littering the street with shell casings. Anyone who happened to walk into that street at the moment could have been killed as an innocent bystander.”

This once again raises the question: What good are gun laws if a person who blatantly violates them and puts no value on human life is walking the streets?

An officer was performing a traffic stop when a woman driving on Route 28 did not pull over or even try to slow down. As the officer was getting into his patrol car, the woman flew by, hit the officer’s door, and stopped a little further down the road.

They charged her with failing to move over for an emergency car.

All states have a “Move Over” law that requires you to move over a lane or slow down when passing an emergency vehicle.

These laws require you to move over or slow down to a reasonable speed for any type of emergency vehicle, including police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, etc.

In California, “tragically, between 2018 and 2022, 154 CHP officers were injured, 14 severely, and two officers lost their lives on California roadsides.”

The same thing applies when an emergency vehicle is heading your way or needs to get through. I’ve been behind the wheel of emergency vehicles trying to get through traffic, and it’s frustrating when people don’t get out of the way.

It was a long time ago, but I still remember pulling over because traffic was terrible and we couldn’t get through. The lady in the back went into labor, and her child was ready to enter the world.

She had her kid right on the overpass of Highway 69 in Ft. Wayne, IN. Some things you will never forget.

There may be a day when you are the one in the back of the ambulance or the person who needs police assistance, and they can’t get through.

At highway speeds, you can go about the length of a football field in three seconds. It’s the holidays, so remember to move over or slow down if you see a car on the side of the road.

Witnesses say the victim confronted the driver multiple times, and the driver shot him after being attacked. Police found that the gun was not registered in D.C. and charged the driver with a gun offense.

While the driver’s attorney may argue that he used reasonable force in self-defense, it is unclear if prosecutors will add any additional charges. The driver was released on supervisory detention with an ankle monitor.
