Four men are hospitalized after being shot in Northwest D.C. on Thursday, according to police.

Metropolitan Police Department says the shooting happened in the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, near New York Avenue, around 1:07 p.m. on Thursday.

According to MPD, four men were shot during the incident. Police say one of the victims was taken to an area hospital with critical injuries. 

The other three victims are being treated at area hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say they are looking for a white Kia Forte with a single New York tag of KSM6977 in connection with the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to call MPD at 202-727-9099 or text the department at 50411.

Thursday's shooting comes days after a 22-year-old man was shot and killed along the same block on Sunday.

In August, another shooting with multiple victims happened several blocks away from the scene of Thursday's shooting. That shooting, which happened near 27 O Street, left two people dead and three others hurt.
