DC press conference: Multiple shot near UDC

DC Police are investigating a shooting near the campus of the University of District of Columbia (UDC) in Northwest, D.C. where at least four people are injured. One man, two women and a 12-year-old girl were shot near the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Van Ness Street NW at 3:20 p.m., according to MPD Assistant Chief Stuart Emerman. The man, one of the women and the juvenile were taken to the hospital for treatment and the two adults are in stable but critical condition, while the juvenile has minor injuries, Emerman said. The fourth victim, a woman in her 60s, had what Emerman described as a graze wound to her back and was treated on scene. Several schools, businesses and apartment buildings in the area were evacuated or asked to shelter in place for safety. UDC remains locked down. "Unfortunately I had to look in parents' eyes tonight who are terrified," Mayor Muriel Bowser said. "They were terrified thinking of what might happen to their children. We have experienced this too much in our country. The epidemic of gun violence, the easy access to weapons has got to stop. People should not be scared taking their children to school." » Subscribe to WUSA9: https://bit.ly/2lO8e2F FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA – Twitter:   / wusa9   Facebook:   / wusa9   Instagram:   / wusa9   NEWS TIPS – Email: [email protected]
