I was at the basketball court on N street across from Dunbar yesterday evening. Not even five minutes after leaving and entering my house, I heard sirens, saw flashing lights and the helicopter above. From what the neighbors are saying, two young people were shot near the basketball court, with one not surviving.


The Washington Post reports:

One man was pronounced dead on the scene in what police have ruled a homicide. His name was not released pending notification of relatives.

The second man has been hospitalized with gunshot wounds, police said. Officials did not release information about his condition.
