A reader reported Saturday night around 8pm:
“Another shooting. 7th St NW b/t Gallatin & Hamilton. Someone got shot in the leg. They’re ok.”
Originally MPD tweeted:
“Shooting at 1959 hours in the 4900 block of 7th Street NW. Subject Stopped”
After a resident inquiry MPD responded:
“There was no shooting at this location. MPD responded to a man with a gun call. The suspect was eventually located and a gun was recovered.
MPD also responded to the call for a shooting in the 5100 block of 7th St NW and found a subject suffering from a non life threatening gun shot wound. A gun was recovered and it was later determined that the subject that was shot accidentally shot himself.”
