One dead and three injured in shooting at Washington DC funeral home: Suspect opened fire as mourners left service for 24-year-old man who was also killed 'as the result of gun violence'

The suspect fled in a green vehicle shortly after opening fire at 12.30pm

Inside the home, a funeral for a 25-year-old man had just taken place

One person is dead and three more injured after a gunman opened fire at a Washington DC funeral home.

The shooting unfolded outside the Stewart Funeral Home, shortly after a service for 24-year-old Stephon Lamont Carroll.

As mourners were piling out of the funeral home at around 12.18pm, the gunman opened fire. He fled in a green vehicle and remains at large.

At a press conference this afternoon, DC police chief Robert Contee said Carroll too had been killed as the result of gun violence.

It remains unclear what the motive for today's shooting at his funeral was, and Chief Contee did not give any further details about how Carroll died on March 24.

'Their loved one died as a result of gun violence.

'Someone decided to disrespect the family at this level and commit this senseless act of violence at this kid's funeral,' Chief Contee said.

The family had requested police presence at the funeral because they were fearful of a incident, he added.

The shooting comes just a day after a gunman in Louisville, Kentucky, killed five people before being killed in a gunfight with police.

Earlier this month, trans teen gunwoman Audrey Hale opened fire on the Covenant School in Nashville, killing three young children and three adults before being shot dead by police.

Calling gang warfare “gun violence” is asinine.

agreed but they can’t call gang violence, gang violence. It doesn’t advance the narrative.

hence, gun violence..

By using the phrase, gun violence, the media is doing its best to absolve blacks of any responsibility for their behavior.

Trans-TEEN? I thought she was 28 years old.
Gunwoman? Didn’t the writer get the memo about pronouns?

'Someone decided to disrespect the family at this level and commit this senseless act of violence at this kid's funeral,' Chief Contee said.

"Disrespect" This was obviously a gang hit. The "Chief" is talking like he's a gang member himself. And he was not a kid, but a 24 year old gangster.

Earlier this month, trans teen gunwoman Audrey Hale opened fire on the Covenant School in Nashville, killing three young children and three adults before being shot dead by police.

28 years old is a teen now? Soon she will be depicted as an innocent child and victim of gun violence.

Maybe we should send all those violent guns to school to learn to be more peaceful guns?

No justice ( no policing, investigations, attests, trials, conviction or imprisonment) results in No peace. ( violent revenge becomes the only justice available for the aggrieved). This is ow the standard of living n Democrat ruled urban America. Sadly its what the residents want and expect.
