Two men who police said were chased and arrested in Prince George’s County, Md., after a D.C. police captain was injured Monday in a shooting in the District have been charged with firearms offenses in Maryland, according to authorities.

Rasheed Thorne, of Northwest Washington, and William Walker IV, of Upper Marlboro, Md., could be extradited to the District this week to face additional charges in connection with the shooting, authorities said. D.C. police said they have obtained arrest warrants in D.C. Superior Court charging each with assault with a dangerous weapon.
