D.C. police are looking for four masked men who, they said, shot a juvenile during a confrontation in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday — just one of three shootings reported in a four-hour period this weekend.
At about 3:40 a.m. Sunday, a juvenile was confronted by four men in black clothing and black masks on the 2100 block of I Street NE, police said. The boy attempted to flee the scene on foot, but heard a gunshot and then realized he had been shot, police said. His injuries were not life-threatening and he was transpo?rted to the hospital, conscious and breathing, police said. Police said the four masked men were black; two were tall and two were short. One was armed with a handgun, police said.
Two other shootings were reported before the incident on I Street this weekend, police said. Shots were fired at 11:35 p.m. Saturday on the 3500 block of Ames Street NE, police said. No one was injured, but police are looking for an adult male, 5 feet seven inches tall and weighing between 160 and 170 pounds. The man had a dark complexion and short hair and was armed with a handgun, police said.
An adult female was injured in a second shooting at 3:33 a.m. Sunday in the 4300 block of Wheeler Road SE, police said. She was transported to the hospital in stable condition, police said.
