ABC7 reporter Sam Ford was near the Kendall Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon when he and the photojournalist he was with heard a crash, then screaming.

As they turned and looked at the intersection and Southern and Branch Avenue, SE, they saw a greenish Chevrolet Tahoe hitting a black Lincoln Town Car.

One woman screamed about kids being in the Town Car. The Tahoe then did a U-turn and fled the scene. A man got out of the Town Car arguing with a person on the street and immediately the ABC7 crew members heard a shot ring out. The two men then started struggling on the ground in the middle of Southern Avenue for control of the weapon. Soon, two women joined the fray, on top of the men trying to gain control of the 9mm pistol.

Our exclusive video shows the man who does not have control of the gun, remove the clip and pocket it.

At that point, a plain clothes, off-duty Special Police Officer got out of his unmarked car with his weapon, and told the man who had dropped the gun to get on the ground. In minutes, more than a dozen Prince George's and D.C. police officers were on the scene.

Police took both men away in handcuffs. Fortunately, no one was hurt. About 10 children were in the Town Car at the time of the accident.
