An off-duty Pentagon police officer who shot and killed two people he believed were stealing a car has been charged with second-degree murder, police announced Friday.
David Hall Dixon was taken into custody by Takoma Park police in Maryland on Friday after he fatally shot two men as they were driving away after an encounter on Wednesday.
Dixon initially said that he believed the victims were breaking into a car, and said he opened fire after three men involved in the incident nearly ran him over. But investigations by Takoma Park police later found that the off-duty officer unlawfully opened fire after danger had passed.
