DC ought to pass a law against guns. Then this stuff would stop.

At least nine people were shot in an apparent drive-by in southeast Washington Tuesday evening, and four D.C. police officers were injured pursuing possible suspects.

One person died at the scene in the 4000 block of South Capitol Street and at least eight others have been taken to area hospitals. Some are in critical condition.

D.C. police responded to the shooting report at about 7:30 p.m.. An AK47-type weapon reportedly was thrown from a green sedan that police chased through parts of D.C. and across the Prince George's County line.

Four officers in pursuit of the vehicle were injured in a crash in the 5600 block of St. Barnabas Road in Temple Hills, Md.

According to Google street view, not a pretty neighborhood. Pretty much what I was expecting.

This doesn’t make much sense. Was the pursuit after the shooting or the shooting after the pursuit! We’re they people on the street? crazy article!

Once we finish cleaning out the political dens of vipers, we're going to have to do something about them as well...

Reportedly gang-related. Damned Democrats are at it again.

A conservative would never throw away a good firearm.

I think the description of the shooters ran like this:

8 Amish midgets wearing tinfoil hats and shouting “PeeWee Herman Lives”. Seen driving away in a Pinto.

That’s all we need here - imported Amish gangbangers.

I know the area. I used to have Greater Southeast Hospital as an account and never did any work after regular business hours.

DC is trying to revitalize this area; it is close to the Nationals Ballpark and Marine Baracks.
