WASHINGTON - A teenage boy is dead and a D.C. police officer is struggling for her life after a mass shooting at a cookout early Sunday in Southeast D.C.

There were 21 victims in total wounded at the scene, police say.

Neighbors described chaos after shots rang out at the party around 12:20 a.m. in the 3300 block of Dubois Place, Southeast.

17-year-old Christopher "Poppy" Brown later died at a nearby hospital.

Firefighters at the scene told FOX 5 they transported nine other victims to hospitals. Other victims walked themselves to hospitals or fire stations for treatment.

Police placed more than 100 evidence placards at the scene.

Well, parts of DC have been gentrified, but not the entire city by any means.

There was a small number that appeared to be wearing masks in the video I saw, but yes, most of them weren't wearing masks. This is why the CV19 infection rate is higher in the minority community, although it is more about packing people together than it is about the lack of masks since masks do little to prevent transmission.

"...a cookout early Sunday in Southeast D.C."

This is news? Late night cookout in D.C... What cookout in D.C. is ever complete without some shooting?

Here in MD, the sound of shooting is so common that no one bothers to call the police anymore... If they do come, they just give the caller a hard time and say all they heard was firecrackers...

“Awright. That’s th’way ya wannit. Tonight. 12:30am. We’ll have ourselves a li’l ‘cookout’ in th’ parkin’ lot over there. Bring yer ‘cookin’ utensils’”

[Starboard]

“Cookout” at 1220 AM?

Maybe cooking something other than food.

Nope, unless one just woke up from a 60-year coma.

[Uncle Lonny]

The usual suspects.

Hi.

If they were not wearing masks, they were wearing body armor and still died from COVID19.

Lol, apparently not such a “drama free event.” Maybe a civil case for false advertising.

The 20 wounded sounds pretty good. the one dead indicates they need to throw more lead around. If they can’t do it with quality, use quantity.Let them kill each other off quickly it will benefit the decent people.

At first glance I thought that that middle picture was from a Dalek convention... Started to dial up the Doctor...

Probably just finishing off a hellacious workweek on 2nd shift x 6 days making sure they are being held responsible for their breeding exploits...while angling for new strange by any tactic necessary. If there are morbidly obese white chicks like protesters at present day Portland or at a gathering of any kind, it’s on!

I heard that he found religion and became the Corn Pope.

[SE Mom]

Wait- the invitation clearly states “Drama free event”...

[Trailerpark Badass]

And, oh yeah, “Black Lives Matter!”

[Sgt_Rutter]

Yeah, no chance of drama while watching LaQuisha bumping/grinding KeeWhan in her new weave while the the other Hos blew their EBT on his malt liquor and tattoos.

[BradyLS]

Yes. It was a “drama free event.” That means everyone brought their own drama! :-D
