FROM NBC 4 NEWS

Bars and businesses in the Adams Morgan neighborhood are joining together to try to offer any help possible to the two officers and DDOT worker who were mowed down by a truck driver. News4’s Jackie Bensen reports how one popular bar helped during the aftermath of the crash.

Taylor initially was charged with possession of an unregistered firearm. The D.C. Office of the Attorney General decided after reviewing evidence not to charge him, a representative for the office said Friday afternoon. 

The officers were riding their bikes near 18th Street and Columbia Road NW, when the white pickup truck crashed into them.

Witnesses told News4 the pickup truck swerved around a WMATA bus and struck the officers. MORE
