THREE people were killed in a drive-by shooting that wounded six others in the US capital, officials said late yesterday.
One shooting victim died at the scene in southeastern Washington, D.C., one was dead on arrival at the hospital, and the third died in the operating room, said Carolyn Hammond, spokeswoman for Washington Hospital Center. She said a fourth person was in critical condition late Tuesday.
The shootings of six men and three women happened about 6:30 pm. Yesterday in southeastern Washington, D.C., said D.C. Police Department spokesman Officer Hugh Carew. Fire Department spokesman Pete Piringer says all the victims were in their 20s and 30s, except for one teenager.
Police say three people have been arrested and a weapon was recovered. Police said they had no motive for the shootings.
Four D.C. officers were slightly injured while pursuing a suspect's vehicle into neighboring Prince George's County, authorities said.
The neighborhood is near a water treatment plant and sections of southeastern D.C. have problems with crime.
