I will note that I haven't actually seen the detail that the shooter was a violence interrupter in the news coverage of this incident on WaPo or WAMU. Is there any real journalist out there corroborating?

This is also the same guy who recently claimed GW Hospital was closed due to having an Ebola outbreak... and then refused to admit he was wrong.

Not the greatest source.

Google News finds a number of articles confirming that an off duty (but vest-wearing) Safe Passage worker was shot. I read the top three, and there was no reference to Violence Interrupters.
