A Washington D.C. woman has been accused of shooting her husband at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel D.C, when asked why she did so, the woman claims her husband was molesting chi#dren at her center, court documents reveal.

Police says they received a call on Thursday for reports of a man shot on the eighth floor of the hotel,furthering that the suspect had barricaded herself inside one of the rooms.

According to court documents, officers arrived at the room and began speaking with the suspect through the door.

During the conversation, the police asked the woman who is identified as Weems if there was a person who had been shot inside the room, to which Weems replied that “he’s a child mol€ster.”

The victim then shouted to the officers that he was inside the room and had been shot in the head and leg, to which Weems responded by telling him to “shut up” and threatening to kill the victim.

Police eventually made entry into the room and immediately detained Weems. They said they found two handgu$ns inside the room, one was in Weems’s purse and the other was found inside an unlocked safe in the room.

Court documents claim while Weems was detained, she revealed more to officers on the scene about her relationship with the victim. Weems claimed that she had been married to the victim for five years and that they live in Baltimore.

Weems also revealed that she owns a childcare center in Baltimore County and that she had recently received multiple calls from parents of the daycare accusing her husband of mol€sting their children.

Weems allegedly then told police that she did not want to ki#l her husband, instead just hurt him. She did, however, tell police that she wants to ki#l herself.

Police say they found a letter inside the room, allegedly written by Weems, which reiterates that claim. The letter adds that Weems was hoping to par@lyze her husband and that she wants justice for the kids at her daycare.

Police say the husband was taken to an area hospital with life-thre@tening injuries after the shooting. They have not released an update on his condition.
