The Metropolitan Police Department said around 10 p.m. officers were called about shots fired on Lebaum Street. When officers arrived, they found seven men with gunshot wounds, Assistant Chief of Patrol Services South Andre Wright said in a news conference, according to The Associated Press. Wright said the men’s injuries were non-life-threatening.

Wright said that most of the victims took themselves to the hospital, the AP reported.

Witnesses told investigators that a shooter or shooters were in a black sedan and fired “indiscriminately” at people in the area, Wright said, according to NBC News.

While at the shooting at Lebaum Street, officers received a call about a shooting on 2nd Street involving a 12-year-old who was shot, according to the AP. Her injuries were non-life-threatening.

Wright said the girl was shot in the lower extremities, NBC News reported.

“It’s a beautiful night. There were folks who were hanging out here, and there were folks who were milling about on the 2nd Street scene,” Wright said, according to NBC News.

“And for some reason you had some people who think that it was OK to fire a firearm at multiple individuals at two different scenes. And we’re not going to let that stand,” Wright added, according to NBC News.

Police say both shootings are possibly related, The Washington Post reported. Wright said that the shootings could have been connected because of the proximity of the scenes as well as the timing of the shootings, according to the AP.

Suspect information and a possible motive have not been released.
