. Around 10:00 p.m. ET, Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to sounds of gunshots in the district’s southwestern quadrant, officials said. When they arrived, police found seven men with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Most of the wounded took themselves to a local hospital, according to police. While investigating the shooting, police received a call about a second incident nearby. When officers arrived, they discovered a 12-year-old girl who had been shot.
Multiple shell casings were found at both scenes and police are asking for the community’s help in looking for a black sedan, “possibly a Mercedes,” that witnesses saw driving through the area, “indiscriminately” firing at people at the first shooting scene, police said.
