Police are still searching Sunday for a suspect in a Washington, D.C.,
mass shooting that left two people dead and five others wounded in the
early morning, police said.
The mass shooting happened around the intersection of 7th and P Streets in
the northwestern part of the city, which is near downtown, said Executive
Assistant Chief Jeffrey Carroll with the D.C. Metropolitan Police
Department at a brief news conference held at the scene. When at least
four people are hurt or killed in a shooting, not including the shooter,
it is considered a mass shooting, according to the Gun Violence Archive's
criteria.
Details about the injuries of the five wounded were not publicly available
as of Sunday night.
Police responded to the shooting at around 3 a.m. ET, Carroll said. Both
people killed in the shooting, identified as 32-year-old Anthony Brown and
32-year-old Jay Lucks, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said
Sunday night. The five wounded victims were not identified, but police
said three of them were men and two were women. All five are adults.
Police said they were looking for a man who was seen running south on 7th
Street, away from the area where the shooting took place, according to
WUSA. Carroll has asked anyone who may know something or who may have
witnessed the shooting to report tips to the police department by calling
202-727-9099 or texting 50411.
