Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser complained of Washington, D.C., police staffing shortages days before Rep. Henry Cuellar was carjacked in the nation's capital.
"We don’t have the officers that we need, and sadly we’ve lost three to four hundred officers in the last four years," she said. "We haven’t had officers in our schools, and we have policies that make it difficult to recruit new officers."

Cueller said he was parking his car in D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood, a short distance from the U.S. Capitol Monday evening, when three armed assailants approached and stole his vehicle.
