Multiple people were shot.One of the victims, an adult man, was killed.
Two men, a woman and a 9-year-old were taken by ambulance to local hospitals. A 12-year-old later arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound and is also believed to be a victim in the shooting, Smith said.The shooting comes as the District of Columbia is struggling with a sharp increase in violent crime, which went up 39% in 2023.
