When police arrived on the scene, three people were shot — two adult males and a juvenile male. MPD says the three individuals were conscious and breathing. The three were taken to the hospital for injuries, police say. 

The second shooting happened at 6:30 p.m. on the 4700 block of Alabama Avenue in Southeast. Alaina Gertz, a spokesperson for MPD, told WUSA9 that a woman, who was a "walk-in" at a hospital, was injured in the Southeast shooting.
