Their presence is delivering real results: more than 18,000 arrests, nearly 2,200 illegal firearms seized, and 28 missing children safely returned home. The men and women protecting this city are driving violent crime down and taking back our streets one dangerous individual at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">During the fight, Jackson brandished a weapon and began shooting. The National Guard ordered him to drop the weapon. Jackson attempted to flee, discharging his weapon at the guardsmen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Three guardsmen returned fire, hitting Jackson. One guardsman was struck in the leg, according to the press release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Police placed Jackson under arrest, and both individuals were taken to D.C hospitals and received treatment for nonfatal injuries. Investigators recovered the firearm, a Taurus G2C 9mm and approximately 14 shell casings from underneath the vehicle Jackson ran behind after the shooting, per the release.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
