Three men were shot overnight in D.C.'s Adams Morgan neighborhood. Two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, and the third was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
The shooting happened about two blocks from the busy intersection of 18th Street and Columbia Road NW. Officers were called about 1 a.m. Saturday for the sound of gunshots and found the victims in the 2500 block of Ontario Road NW.
“Another act of senseless violence has occurred in this area where two individuals have lost their lives and another has been transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries,” acting Police Chief Pamela Smith said.
There was no information available on what may have led up to the shooting, and no one is in custody. Police issued a lookout for a male in a blue Mercedes with the tag AC666. It was not immediately known which state the tag was from.
"Even though we're in the preliminary stages of this investigation, we are asking anyone who may have seen anything, heard anything, or if you have video camera footage or video surveillance, we are asking you to contact the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099, or you may text us at 50411," Smith said.
The victims' identities have not been released yet.
In all, at least six people were shot in the District overnight. In addition to the three victims on Ontario Road, two people were shot on Just Street NE, and another shooting victim was found on Georgia Avenue NW, although police didn't immediately know where that victim came from.
At 5 a.m. Saturday, a man was shot and killed near a bus stop on U Street NW. The crime scene blocked the busy corridor for much of the morning.
Ward One Councilwoman Brianne Nadeau issued a statement condemning the violence, calling it upsetting and devastating to the community.
“We are taking a comprehensive approach that encompasses multiple enforcement agencies – not just police – and other organizations and agencies, including mental health services, safety ambassadors, expanding the camera rebate program and resources to address substance use disorder," she said.
