A reader reported:

“I’m at 7th and O St. and heard about 5-7 shots shortly after 9:20pm. Several police cars, ambulances and a fire truck are responding on 7th and possibly N/M Streets but I can’t exactly see where. An ambulance that had arrived left the scene around 9:35.”

and “Uncertain what I heard just now but I think it was 10-15 shots in rapid succession between 4th & 5th on M/N St NW”

and this morning: “The victim was pronounced dead at the hospital. 7th and N ST NW”
