Police are still looking for an armed suspect, a Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department source with knowledge of the situation tells CNN.
Two men and one girl were injured, MPD said. Authorities publicly confirmed two people were shot, and it was not immediately clear if the third victim was shot as well.
Police are conducting active sweeps in the area, MPD said. Police earlier said the shooting took place on Connecticut Avenue, but a later tweet from MPD said it happened on the 2900 block of Van Ness Street, Northwest.
There is a large law enforcement presence at the scene, including MPD, the city’s Fire and EMS Department, the US Secret Service’s uniformed division and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Secret Service, says there is “no impact” to a protectee.
The situation is being characterized as an “active threat” and residents are being told to shelter in place or avoid the area.
