breaking news, a person is dead after a shooting at a d.c. metro station and an officer was involved. thanks for joining us. i'm jan jeffcoat. >> i'm derek mcginty. we fine our mola lenghi -- find our mola lenghi who has got the latest. >> reporter: we know a man was shot and killed after being found in an area of the metro he was not supposed to be in. the officer who shot him, she is okay tonight. she was not hurt. metro received a call around 9:00 tonight about a man in a

restricted area of the potomac avenue metro station. we're told that man was on the tracks about 400 feet down the tunnel off the metro platform basically toward the next station which is stadium armory. when the metro transit officer responded, she confronted the man and eventually shot him. it's those critical moments from when she responded to when she shot him that are still being investigated. it's unclear if the man was armed. that, too, is being investigated, also why he was down there and what he was doing in an area that is clearly unauthorized metro stresses. >> we don't know what he was doing in the tunnel, why he was in the tunnel between stadium armory and potomac avenue. all of that will be under investigation. >> reporter: obviously this is very early in the investigation. meanwhile potomac avenue station is closed tonight. trains are bypassing. if you are riding the blue, orange or silver lines, expect delays the rest of the night. live in the district i'm mola

lenghi for wusa9. >> i know we don't know yet whether or not that suspect was armed, but any word what he might have done to provoke the fear that got the officer to shoot him? >> reporter: all we know is that he was in an area like we said that metro says clearly there was no accident. you don't accidentally stumble into the area that he was. that certainly at this point is the the reason why he was shot, but it's those -- not the reason yes of shot, but -- why he was shot, but it's those critical moments that are being investigated. >> because this is a homicide, the metropolitan police department will take over the investigation from the metro transit cops. you can get the latest breaking news developments on this story on our wusa9 app. demonstrators say they'll gather tonight in ferguson, missouri, to protest police brutality. two police officers were shot and seriously injured during a similar protest last night. craig boswell shows us the effort tonight to search for the shooter. >> reporter: demonstrators
