The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced two people were arrested after a U.S. Park Police (USPP) officer was shot Monday night in southeast Washington, D.C.

Darren Foster, 21, of southeast D.C., was arrested Monday shortly after the shooting Monday. 

Asheile Foster, 22, of southeast D.C., was arrested Tuesday. 

Both suspects are charged with assault on a federal police officer with a gun, according to the police department.

The shooting happened at about 7:30 p.m. Monday while the officer was investigating a USPP incident in an unmarked Tesla vehicle, FOX 5 D.C. reported.

Two armed men allegedly approached the officer’s car and fired multiple shots, hitting him in the upper body. 

The officer was able to drive away, before being taken by USPP’s aviation unit to a local hospital for treatment.

U.S. Park Police confirmed the officer suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, and he has since been discharged from the hospital.

FOX 5 reported MPD has information suggesting the suspects knew the person inside the Tesla was an officer, though no motive has been released.

Authorities raided a home near the shooting location Tuesday afternoon, entering with guns drawn, according to the outlet. A K-9 unit also responded.

The case is being investigated by detectives from the MPD’s NIBIN Investigations Unit, which includes agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives along with USPP detectives.

A Georgia judge granted a bond of only $1 to a woman charged with murder after she allegedly took pills to induce an abortion at approximately five months pregnant, which is illegal under the state’s abortion restrictions.

Alexia Moore, 31, has spent nearly three weeks behind bars in coastal Camden County after her arrest on March 4, when police used an arrest warrant with language that mirrors the state’s abortion ban after six weeks gestation.

“I think that charge is extremely problematic,” Superior Court Judge Steven Blackerby said of the murder charge during a bond hearing on Monday, according to The New York Times.

“That is going to be a hard charge to convict upon,” the judge continued.

Blackerby set Moore’s total bond at $2,001, ordering $1,000 bond amounts for each of her two drug charges on top of the murder charge.

Moore’s case is among the first in Georgia of a woman facing charges for terminating a pregnancy since the Peach State’s abortion ban was adopted in 2019, banning abortions after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected, which is typically at about six weeks gestation.

District Attorney Keith Higgins of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit did not challenge the $1 bond in court on Monday and told the judge that police did not contact his office before charging Moore, according to reports.

Higgins’ office would need to obtain a grand jury indictment before it could take Moore to trial.

Moore posted bond and was released on Monday, jail records show.

“Today’s decision is a reminder that justice is not served by accusation alone,” attorneys from the Georgia Public Defender Council, who are representing Moore, said in a statement.

“Our system works best when courts carefully weigh the facts, uphold constitutional protections, and safeguard the rights of every person who comes before them,” the statement added.

Moore arrived at a hospital on Dec. 30 and said she was suffering from abdominal pain, according to court records. She told hospital staff that she took misoprostol, a drug used to cause abortions, and the opioid painkiller oxycodone, according to an arrest warrant obtained by police in Kingsland, Georgia.

The baby survived for about an hour after being delivered at the hospital, according to the warrant.

The warrant states that police obtained medical records estimating that Moore had been pregnant for 22 to 24 weeks. The document also cited “the medical staff’s knowledge that the baby had a beating heart and was struggling to breathe.”

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill attended a Ramadan event at a Paterson mosque led by an Imam who fought deportation for years over alleged ties to Hamas.

Sherrill posted photos of her visit to the Islamic Center of Passaic County on social media, wearing a hijab and taking selfies. In one image, she is seen speaking with the mosque’s longtime leader, Imam Mohammad Qatanani.

“Thank you to the Islamic Center of Passaic County for welcoming me to join their celebration as the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close,” she wrote. “I wish our Muslim neighbors a safe, joyous, and peaceful Eid al-Fitr.”

Qatanani, a Palestinian-born cleric, has been at the center of a decades-long immigration battle after federal authorities sought to deport him, citing alleged ties to Hamas and claims he failed to disclose a prior detention in Israel. He has denied those allegations, saying he was detained but never convicted.

As Fox News previously reported, the federal government moved to remove Qatanani from the U.S. beginning in the mid-2000s, arguing he made misrepresentations on his green card application and raising national security concerns tied to Israeli records.

An immigration judge ruled in Qatanani’s favor in 2008, finding the government’s evidence unreliable and giving little weight to Israeli court documents used to support the allegations, according to court records . The judge also found the government had not proven Qatanani engaged in terrorist activity.

Court records further raised concerns about the reliability of statements attributed to Qatanani, including whether they may have been obtained under coercive conditions. Subsequent rulings over the years continued to favor him.

A federal appeals court ultimately blocked his deportation in 2025, ruling immigration officials acted improperly in attempting to reverse his legal status.

The [Board of Immigration Appeals] exceeded its authority when it attempted to undo Qatanani’s adjustment to LPR status by using an agency regulation in a manner inconsistent with the procedures set out by Congress,” the court wrote.

The decision focused on legal process rather than resolving the underlying allegations, finding federal authorities failed to follow required procedures after missing deadlines to challenge a key ruling granting him permanent residency.

It is unclear whether Sherrill was aware of Qatanani’s legal history at the time of her visit. Fox News Digital has reached out to the governor’s office for comment.
