Officers were called to the duplex in Arlington, Virginia, around 4:45 p.m. on Monday following reports that shots from a flare gun had been repeatedly fired from the property. Investigators obtained a search warrant, but more shots were fired from inside the property as officers prepared to enter it and the building exploded shortly before 8:30 p.m.

Giving Tuesday — the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the internationally recognized day to contribute to charity — is upon us.
