Two People Shot in Early Morning Northwest D.C. Incident

WASHINGTON, D.C. (7News) — An early Saturday morning shooting in Northwest Washington, D.C. left a man and woman injured, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

Authorities say both victims arrived at a local hospital around 6:46 a.m., where they were found conscious and breathing, but suffering from gunshot wounds. The extent of their injuries has not been made public, but both individuals were able to communicate with first responders.

Shooting Believed to Have Occurred on T Street NW

While the exact location of the shooting remains under investigation, police believe the incident took place in the 900 block of T Street NW, a residential area not far from the U Street Corridor—a neighborhood known for its nightlife and restaurants.

Residents in the area reported hearing loud noises in the early morning hours, but no emergency calls were made prior to the victims’ arrival at the hospital.

Suspects Armed and Still at Large

Police say the suspects are two males wearing ski masks, both armed with handguns. They were reportedly seen fleeing the scene in a Silver Mercedes, although further details about the vehicle, such as a license plate or model year, were not provided.

As of Saturday afternoon, the suspects remain at large, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Ongoing Investigation

The MPD’s violent crimes division has taken over the case. Investigators are working to determine a motive, whether the victims were targeted, and exactly where the shooting occurred.

Authorities have not released the names of the victims or any potential connections between them and the suspects. It is also unclear whether the shooting was random or part of a broader dispute.
