Drive-By Shooting In Washington. 13 People Shot – Video

A drive-by shooting early Monday on a D.C. street corner that has been repeatedly touched by violence left 13 people wounded, one of them seriously, police said.The shooting took place on North Capitol Street at New York Avenue in front of Tyler House, a crime-plagued subsidized apartment complex that police said is one reason the neighborhood has struggled with gun violence even as redevelopment in nearby “NoMa,” or north of Massachusetts Avenue, has redefined the area.

Those wounded in the shooting — the youngest of whom was 17 — were struck mostly in the arms and legs, D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said. Assistant Police Chief Peter Newsham said the seriously injured victim was hit in the back. None of the injuries are considered life-threatening.

Detectives are seeking information about two cars seen driving past Tyler House, an eight-story residence, at the time of the 2:10 a.m. shootings. Investigators were scrambling to interview witnesses and the wounded, who were scattered at three city hospitals. Police posted a video that they said captured a portion of the shootings and showed pedestrians falling into a small heap on the sidewalk.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
