DC Council Candidate Says He Is ‘Shocked, Angry and Embarrassed’ After Being Carjacked

Washington, D.C., council candidate Nate Fleming (D) said he was “shocked, angry and embarrassed” after he was a victim of a carjacking on Saturday.

In a statement issued Saturday, Fleming said he was about to leave a gas station when four men in an SUV pulled up to his car. They jumped out and pointed a gun at him, demanding his car keys.

The D.C. police said the suspects are four black men who were driving a black BMW 328i with Virginia tags, Wtop News reported.

“The police responded to this incident quickly and professionally, but we must put our force in [a position] to be more preventive of these types of crimes through stronger, community-based policing,” Fleming said.
