The gunfire erupted in the 6200 block of Georgia Avenue NW around 6 p.m.
A man was fatally shot and three others, including an 8-year-old child, were struck by gunfire and wounded Tuesday evening in Northwest Washington, according to D.C. police.
The gunfire erupted in the 6200 block of Georgia Ave. NW just before 6 p.m., when police said at least two people got out of a car in traffic and fired shots at a group of men standing on the sidewalk. One man was pronounced dead at the scene, said D.C. Police Chief Robert J. Contee III. The three others were taken to a hospital, he said.The child, struck in the lower extremities, did not appear to be related to the other victims and probably was the “victim of an errant round,” Contee said.
Contee said the other three men, including the one killed, were “clearly targeted.” He said the motive was unknown and that he was “very concerned” about retaliation. The chief vowed to deploy additional police resources throughout the Fourth District on Tuesday night.“We have no idea why someone would do such a reckless act at 6 p.m. on Georgia Avenue, but we are going to find out,” he said, before urging residents to “demand accountability” for those responsible.
