Chantilly, Va. - A heavily armed teenager who killed a detective and wounded two officers in a shootout outside a Fairfax County police station had recently been arrested on carjacking charges, officials said Tuesday.
Michael W. Kennedy, 18, was crouched between two vehicles in the station parking lot when he opened fire on the unsuspecting officer Monday afternoon, officials said.
Kennedy, of Centreville, had attempted another carjacking that day and was driving another stolen vehicle just before the attack, officials said. Armel had been headed out from the Sully District Police Station to assist the investigation when she was killed.
Four weeks earlier, Kennedy had been arrested by Fairfax police on a warrant connected to a carjacking in nearby Montgomery County, Md.
Detective Vicky O. Armel According to police reports, a 33-year-old man had been forced from his vehicle by a suspect who claimed to have a gun. Kennedy reportedly surrendered to Fairfax police at one of their district stations and was held on a fugitive warrant charge. He was released after posting a $33,000 bond, court records showed.
Mary Ann Jennings, a Fairfax County police spokeswoman, said that on Monday there was another attempted carjacking and a van was stolen shortly before the officers were attacked. The stolen van was recovered in the police station parking lot.
She said police didn't know "exactly who he (Kennedy) was targeting except to say he was targeting police officers."
