A Spokesman for the US secret service said it had detained a possible shooter after report at about 12:15p.m.EDT that shots were fired near the embassy in north west washington. DC.
Embassy insiders named the shooter as Solomon Woyin, who is said to be a security head at the Ethiopian embassy. The man is said to be a member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, the core and dominant of the ruling ethnic parties, the EPRDF.
While Shimelis Terefe, a D.C-based activist, was trying to hoist the widely popular Ethiopian flag that does not bear the emblem of the TPLF/EPRDF regime, Solomon Woyin started shooting without any warning. When the protesters confronted him and demanded him to put down his gun, he fired more shots threatening to kill them. According to the protesters, at least three shots were fired and a car parked nearby was hit by a bullet.U.S. Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said in a statement emailed to reporters that the agency investigated a report of shots fired around 12:15 p.m. Monday.
