The shooting was reported around 3 a.m. near the intersection of 7th and P Street Northwest, near the Kennedy Recreation Center, CNN reported citing the Metropolitan Police Department.
The injured victims, all of whom were described as being adults, have been taken to local hospitals, Metropolitan Police Executive Assistant Chief Jeffrey Carroll said in a media briefing. No information was available on their conditions.
It’s unclear who opened fire or what led up to the shooting, which took place about a dozen blocks northeast of the White House. Police did not announce any arrests or name any suspects in the case.
The motive remains under investigation. The preliminary investigation suggests that one or more suspects intentionally discharged a firearm at the victims, police said.
