Washington D.C. witnessed a series of violent incidents over the weekend, including multiple shootings and a fatal hit-and-run accident. Early Sunday morning, a significant shooting occurred in the Shaw neighborhood near the Kennedy Rec Center at 7th and P St NW, resulting in seven people shot, two of whom died at the scene. The Metropolitan Police Department is actively searching for the suspect, described as a Black male of average build, last seen wearing light pants and a blue shirt. In addition to the Shaw shooting, police are investigating other incidents across the city, including a man arriving at a firehouse conscious and shot in the back, another man shot multiple times in the Edgewood neighborhood where approximately 40 shell casings were found, and a deadly hit-and-run on Suitland Parkway in Prince George's County. Authorities are also looking into gunfire that struck a home in Bladensburg, MD, a shooting in the Greenleaf area where a victim was found with arm and torso injuries, a man shot in the leg off Naylor Rd with at least 25 shots fired, and an individual located with a minor graze gunshot wound. The police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue their investigations into these violent crimes.
