A former Trump administration official was fighting for his life after being shot by a gunman suspected of a string of carjackings Monday night in the Washington, D.C., area.

Mike Gill, who served as chief operating officer of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under then-President Donald Trump, was hospitalized in critical condition, Gill’s family told Fox 5 Tuesday night.

[It was quite the spree. The carjacker killed another man, carjacked two more, and then shot at police before getting killed by return fire. This appears to be the same spree reported on Twitter late yesterday and highlighted this morning by Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman. Out of control, indeed. — Ed]
