Multiple Shooting in Southeast D.C. Early Saturday Morning; One Dead, Four Wounded


Shit crazy out here…6 people shoot one dead in under 15mins…*tears* I can’t wait to leave DCSat Dec 11 via ÜberTwitter

DC Fire and EMS responded early this morning to a shooting in Southeast D.C. that injured at least four people. Others in D.C. tweeted about sounds of gunshots and a shooting at a house party that injured several people and killed one. I contacted Metro Police in the Sixth District for more information.

Update 12:10 p.m.: The Washington Post gets some details:

Officers responded at about 2:30 a.m. to a report of shots fired the 1700 block of 14th St. SE and found a man with apparent gunshot wounds, a police spokesman, Officer Hugh Carew, said Saturday. The man was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, Carew said.

While officers were on the 14th Street scene, a report came in of gunshot victims a couple of hundred feet away, in the 1400 block of Ridge Place SE. There, officers found three people with gunshot wounds who were transported to the hospital, Carew said. Another person shot in that incident went to the hospital separately, Carew said.

The Washington Examiner is also watching the story.
