A shooting incident in Washington DC left four people injured on Thursday evening, with emergency responders arriving promptly at the scene. The shooting occurred around 9 pm in the 1500 block of Harry Thomas Way Northeast, near the NoMa-Gallaudet U New York Avenue Metro station, just 500 feet away. Authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the attack.

The victims, three men and one woman, were found to be “conscious and breathing” after the incident, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Two of the injured were transported to nearby hospitals by emergency medical services, while the other two victims managed to get to medical facilities independently. Police described their conditions as stable upon arrival.

At this time, the police have not released the identities of the victims, nor have they provided any details on potential suspects or motives. Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.

This shooting follows another recent violent incident in New York City, where ten people were injured in a shooting outside a nightclub. The shooting took place on Wednesday night during a memorial event for a teenager who had been killed earlier in the year. In that case, police reported that several assailants fired multiple shots into a crowd before fleeing the scene.

Both incidents have raised concerns about public safety in major cities, prompting local authorities to continue their efforts to prevent similar attacks and ensure swift responses to such emergencies. Authorities in both Washington DC and New York are encouraging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
