The shooting occurred around 2:45 a.m. Monday, just after a nearby nightclub let out. The youngest shot was 17, and several injured remained in area hospitals for treatment.
Surveillance footage shows people outside of the Tyler House Apartments in Washington, D.C., on the ground and taking cover as shots ring out early Monday.
Cops were searching for suspects in two cars who opened fire into a crowd in Washington, D.C., early Monday, injuring 12.
The drive-by shooting occurred in the capital’s northwest around 2:45 a.m., when bullets sprayed people gathered outside of the Tyler House Apartments on North Capitol Street, a Metropolitan Police Department spokesman told the Daily News.
None of the injuries were considered life-threatening, although the most serious was apparently a man hit in the back.
Most of the dozen victims were wounded in the legs, and some may have been hurt by flying glass from a shattered bus shelter. The youngest person shot was 17.
The cars involved in the shooting are described as a dark-colored, older-model BMW and a light gray or silver sedan.
D.C. police are reviewing surveillance footage of the area, Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier told reporters.
A motive remains under investigation. A nearby nightclub closed about 15 minutes prior to the shooting, and several of those outside of the residential complex had just come from the venue, The Washington Post said.
The area was also the scene of consecutive shootings last October that left seven people injured, including a 14-year-old boy.
