We linked to a DC Kaleidoscope account of last night’s shooting in the Park View neighborhood in the Morning Roundup, but here’s the MPD’s statement on the incident, sent to neighborhood email lists last night by Third District Inspector Jacob Kishter.

A shooting occurred at Park Ave and Quebec. One adult female was struck in the leg and was transported to an area hospital. A second adult male was also struck in the upper torso and attempted to drive away in his vehicle causing him to crash near Quebec and Warder Streets. He was transported to an area hospital in serious condition. The matter is currently being investigated by the Third District Detectives.

Also see Prince of Petworth. There are varying reports of between 15 and 60 shots having been fired.
