WASHINGTON—Police say at least three people were injured in a shooting Friday in northwest Washington and city officials are warning people in the area to stay inside because of an “active threat.”
Dozens of law enforcement officers responded to the scene near Connecticut Avenue and Van Ness St. in the Van Ness neighborhood of Washington. The incident is just down the road from Howard University Law School.
Police in tactical gear were seen escorting people out of an apartment building. Officers pointed their rifles upward toward other buildings and windows as the people moved quickly down the street with their hands raised above their heads.
