was observed operating on the wrong side of the street. the driver then exchanged words with the driver of another car. and pointed a handgun at the driver of the other car before speeding away. the burgundy 300 was then observed in the 1900 block of fourth street northwest. an individual observed the vehicle driving at a high rate of speed. there was some words exchanged between that person and the driver of the burgundy 300. it was reported that the driver of the burgundy 300 then rolled down the window and fired multiple shots at that individual. the driver of the burgundy 300 was described as a black male in his 20's. dark complexion. with dreadlocks or twists in his hair. we have since recovered that burgundy 300 in northeast washington. we know that that car was stolen in a burglary in bowie, maryland, august 11.
