Two people were shot dead and another five left wounded early Sunday morning in Democrat-controlled Washington, DC, with the perpetrator still on the loose and unidentified, according to police.

The suspect fled on foot after the shooting took place at 3 a.m. at the intersection of 7th Street NW and P Street NW, about four blocks away from Mt. Vernon Square near the Kennedy Recreation Center, police said.

“We’re asking anyone who may have any information related to this incident or may have witnessed it, to contact the Metropolitan Police Department,” Executive Assistant Chief Jeffrey Carrol said during a news conference Sunday morning.

Media staging area at 7th and Q Streets NW. Briefing will be posted here.

Investigators were searching for a black man with “average build, wearing light pants, blue shirt,”the Metropolitan Police Department said on X.

The police really have narrowed it down with their description of the perp. As most DIMocrat areas...WDC is a festering hell hole.

What annoys me about the article is the “Democrat controlled” half truth. Yes, it’s run by Democrats, but that is under the authority of the Congress. Congress could fix a lot of things in short order.

Abolish home rule, abolish elections, appoint a District Chief Commissioner and a District Commission, for starters. Set a maximum allowable crime rate for commissioners to continue in office.

Our national capital city is an international disgrace. Much of Congress doesn’t want to be bothered, being too busy grifting off lobbyists and insider stock trading. Also a national disgrace.

Two things:

1. Being on the street in any major American city at 3:00 AM is asking for trouble.

2. Northwest DC USED to be the reliably safe part of the city. Not anymore, apparently.

The District of Columbia is not "Democrat controlled".

The government of DC is the Congress of the United States, which is charged by the Constitution "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States"
