Would-be carjacker targets Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor security detail officer, suspect shot

A Deputy U.S. Marshal assigned to protect U.S. Supreme Court justices shot a would-be carjacker near the home of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in Washington, D.C.

Flowers pointed a handgun at the Deputy U.S. Marshal through the driver-side window in an apparent attempt to carjack him, according to police.

The Deputy Marshal pulled out his service firearm and fired approximately four times at Flowers through the window, according to a police criminal complaint. A second Marshal from another vehicle also responded and fired his service weapon.
