WASHINGTON ( DC News Now ) — The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said three men and a 16-year-old teenager were shot in Northeast D.C. on Friday afternoon.
MPD received a call about the shooting in the 1200 block of Mt. Olivet Rd. at around 12:20 p.m. in the parking lot of Circle Seven Express convenience store.
Assistant Police Chief Darnel Robinson said in a news conference that medics took the three men to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening injuries. The teenaged boy who was hit by gunfire walked into the hospital, he said.
“Several shots rang out before the vehicle fled towards, continuing on Mount Olivet,” Robinson said. “We’re going to continue to work with community members, as many of them have zero tolerance.”
Victoria Hardin, who lives in a building behind the store, said there was rapid gunshots that she didn’t know what it was at first.
“When I saw the emergency supervisor ambulance, I knew that somebody was in great danger,” Hardin said.
