Police in Washington, D.C., are on the lookout for two individuals linked to a recent shooting in the city's Northwest sector. The incident, which took place at the bustling intersection of Georgia Avenue and Quebec Place, was first reported on Thursday evening and has spurred an active investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department.
According to a press release from the MPD, the response to the shooting was prompted by a call they received at approximately 6:37 p.m. on Thursday. Arriving officers found evidence confirming that a shooting had occurred, yet, in a surprising turn of circumstances, a victim was initially nowhere to be found. It was only later that an adult female suffering from a gunshot wound was discovered in the 400 block of Manor Place, Northwest—some distance from the original scene.
The victim was promptly transported to a local hospital, where she received care for injuries that have been deemed non-life-threatening. Details regarding the suspects are currently sparse, and the MPD has yet to release descriptions to the public.
The authorities have not yet speculated on a motive for the shooting, and with suspects still at large, concern within the community grows. The department has reassured the public that they are utilizing all available resources to track down those responsible for this act of violence.
