Apparently, some guy got shot last night while attending a play at Ford’s Theatre in downtown DC. The victim died early this morning at a nearby boarding house.

The main suspect is an actor, often seen at the theatre. He was last seen jumping from a balcony to the stage in a dramatic fashion, addressing the crowd, and disappearing to the rear of the theatre. He remains on the loose and is wanted for questioning. A massive manhunt is being organized reaching into rural Maryland and northern Virginia. A judge for the District Court for the District of Columbia has warned those organizing the manhunt to be cognizant of the suspect’s rights if and when found. “This man is innocent until proven guilty and should be treated as such” the judge stated.

This is a developing story; we caution that the information released so far is preliminary and could change as the investigation continues.
