D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee III has taken notice and is threatening her with prosecution. From The Hill

Robert Contee III, the chief of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department, said on Monday that he will reach out to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) after she said she intended to carry a handgun in the district.

Contee said during a press conference that he wanted to ensure Boebert “is aware of the what the laws of the District of Columbia are."

"That congresswoman will be subjected to the same penalties as anyone else that’s caught on the D.C. streets carrying a firearm,” Contee said.

While Contee is focused on Congresswoman Boebert, murders in Washington, D.C., are skyrocketing.

Carmelo, just 15 months old, was fatally shot Wednesday night in D.C., police say. At least 10 shots hit the car his father was driving.

Carmelo was struck multiple times inside the car, Police Chief Peter Newsham said.
