Off-Duty Pentagon Police Officer Charged with Murdering Two in Maryland

HeadlineApr 12, 2021

An off-duty Pentagon police officer was charged with murder Friday for the fatal shooting of two men in Maryland last week. David Hall Dixon claimed he witnessed a car break-in and shot at the men as they tried to flee, but investigators say his account was inconsistent and he was not facing any danger when he fired his gun. Police say Dixon will also face charges related to a 2020 incident in which he pointed a shotgun at a woman’s face.
