“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting inside of a building in the 3100 block of 16th street NW. Two adult males have been transported to area hospitals with critical gunshot wounds. A third individual has been transported to the hospital from the 3100 block of Mt Pleasant St NW with what appears to be critical wounds. We believe that these scenes are related at this time.
