It appeared that the parade had largely passed when the gunfire erupted, but many people had remained near the route. Witnesses said the sound sent people fleeing down Gresham Place and away from Georgia.
Assistant D.C. Police Chief Diane Groomes said the shooting had no connection to the festival or the university. Investigators think it stemmed from a neighborhood issue, she said.
In addition to the one man who was killed, three others were wounded and police believe that there were at least two gunman, NBC Washington reports.
