4 dead in D.C. shooting


Four people have died after a shooting in southern Washington, D.C. There were a total of 7 males injured and 3 females injured. Authorities said multiple shooters opened fire on a crowd Tuesday night. The shooting started a police chase that ended in the arrest of three men. Four officers recieved minor injuries from an accident during the chase. The suspects were found with an assult rifle. Another person was shot on nearby, but it wasn't clear whether that shooting was related. The authorities believe that it was a gang related shooting just when they were under the impression that gang related violence was decreasing.


I think it is a shame that some places have so much violence. From what i have heard D.C. is a pretty rough town. It is definately not somewhere i would like to live. I believe that more money needs to be spent taking down gangs that are killing innocent people and selling drugs. also i believe that most of the killings that happen especially in bigger cities like this revolve around drugs. I think that if we put more effort into the war on drugs we will reduce violence in the process.
