Monteray Horn, a convicted rapist, is accused of shooting at three people, wounding one, and trying to steal cars at gunpoint outside a Montgomery County mall.

A D.C. man who was released last summer after serving 17 years in prison for raping an adolescent girl was arrested Saturday after police said he went on a violent rampage in the District and Maryland, firing shots at three people, one of whom was hit in the face, and attempting several carjackings at gunpoint.

Police said the Saturday rampage began after Horn, carrying a pistol, boarded a Metro train in the District’s Anacostia neighborhood. “Horn shot at an adult male” on the train, the statement said. “The bullet went through the victim’s clothing but did not strike the victim.”Horn, still in the District, got off the train and carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint, according to the statement. The charges in Montgomery do not include that initial shooting and carjacking in D.C.

Shortly after 11 a.m., in the mall parking lot, he tried to carjack an Audi by pointing a gun at the female driver, who had two small children with her, the statement said. “The woman was able to get her children out of the car and run away. Horn entered the Audi and although he had the key, he was not able to start the car.”

After that, he “ran across the parking lot where he tried to carjack” another vehicle, and fired at the woman behind the wheel, wounding her in the face, the statement said. “Unable to steal her Honda Civic, Horn ran away” to the neighborhood where police caught up with him.
