A Washington, D.C., police officer was shot Wednesday when a suspect's gun went off as officers were trying to recover the weapon from a storm drain, officials said.

The officer, who has been with the Metropolitan Police Department for more than 25 years, was flown by helicopter to a hospital after being shot in the northeast part of the city, said Jeffery Carroll, executive assistant chief of police at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Carroll said he did not have more information about the officer's condition.
