Illegal immigrant responsible for shooting three D.C. Police Officers
Confirmed sources: Stephen Claude Rattigan a.k.a. James Claude Julius is NOT a U.S. citizen & has an active ICE deportation order.
D.C. police initially identified the suspect as 46-year-old Julius James but confirmed to FOX 5 Thursday that the suspect provided officers a false name.
A police department spokesperson said the suspect’s name is Michael Rattigan, though court documents list the suspect’s name as Stephen Claude Rattigan.
Judge Renee Raymond used both “James” and “Rattigan” when referring to the suspect’s surname in court Thursday when he made his initial appearance.
Rattigan is accused of shooting and wounding three D.C. police officers who were attempting to serve a warrant on animal cruelty. The warrant obtained by FOX 5 states that a concerned citizen called the Washington Humane Society in early January over concerns of dogs being neglected at 5032 Hanna Place, SE.
When an officer visited the home, court documents state “there was a strong odor of dog feces and urine at the front door” and the sounds of “lots of dogs barking from within” but there was no answer.
