D.C. Police are searching for a car in connection to six drive-by paintball shootings on Tuesday in Southeast.

The suspects inside the vehicle hit 11 people, two of whom were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to a release from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Police say that around 11 a.m., two suspects, who were riding in a silver or tan Ford Fusion with unknown Maryland tags, discharged paintball guns at random victims in Fairlawn, Anacostia, and Congress Heights.

“[When] the first round hit me, I thought it was a real bullet—it burned and hurt. And that’s when I started to go for the ground,” Marvin Hamrick, an electrician working on a construction job, told NBC Washington.

A man cutting his neighbor’s lawn and people standing at a hot dog stand across the street from The Big Chair on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue were also hit, NBC reports.

Frustrated neighbors told DCist earlier this month that paintballers have been plaguing communities that lie east of the Anacostia River for weeks. They’ve also targeted dumpsters, bus stops, parked cars, apartment buildings, street signs and even city-owned vacant property has been sprayed.

There have been isolated incidents across the city before, including one in March that left three people injured. But as multiple photos and videos, some referencing “DC Paint Ball Wars,” surface on social media, the scale of this recent spate appears to be unprecedented in D.C.

Police say that the individuals responsible for Tuesday’s shootings will be charged with aggravated assault.
