Three people were injured in the first shooting on Friday morning in southeast DC.

Officers arrived at the scene around 11:45 a.m., where two men were taken to local hospitals for treatment.

A third victim, a woman, was able to walk to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Later that day at 3:07 p.m., officers were called to a separate shooting.

This time a man was fatally shot on Wheeler Road SE and a murder investigation is ongoing.

About an hour later, at 4:15 p.m., another man was shot, but officials said he was conscious and breathing at the scene.

A double shooting erupted on Alabama Avenue SE just before 9 p.m., police said.

A man and a woman were shot. The woman was conscious and breathing and the man was unconscious before he was later pronounced dead.

Another double shooting occurred around 9:13 p.m., this time with two men as victims.

One of the men was semi-conscious while the other was awake and breathing.

Officials are assuming an assault with intent to kill.

Two minutes later, officers responded to the scene of a third double shooting. Both men were found awake and breathing.

None of the victims have been released and no arrests were made in the shooting, according to police.

As of July 29 this year, there have been 125 homicides and 811 assaults with a deadly weapon across DC, DC Police said.

The Sun has reached out to DC Police for comment.
