Three people were killed and one injured in a mass shooting in Washington DC’s nightlife district on Saturday. The victims include two men and a woman who were shot in the Anacostia area of Southeast Washington, police said.
The city has now recorded more than 150 homicides so far this year, putting it on track for the largest number of killings in more than two decades.
Washington DC acting police Chief Pamela Smith called the shooting a “senseless act of violence in Southeast”.
The killings come amid a stream of shootings that have left at least a dozen people dead in the first five days of August, reported The Washington Post.
