Yet More Shootings In Columbia Heights, LeDroit Park

There had already been too much violent crime in residential Northwest neighborhoods when we posted about it yesterday; sadly, there was even more of it to report from last night. First, according to MPD, a woman was shot in the leg on the 1300 block of Euclid Street NW around 6 p.m. yesterday evening. Police say there was no known motive. Assistant Chief Diane Groomes also confirmed that there were shots fired in the 200 block of W Street NW last night. In this particular gunfight, two adult males suffered one gunshot wound each. Police are still investigating both incidents. Anyone with information about either of these crimes, or the multiple shootings yesterday, should call MPD at 202 727-9099 or 1-888-919-CRIME.
