Police say they recovered one gun at the scene, and are offering up to $75,000 for information in the shooting. They're asking neighbors to check their security camera footage and look for the suspects' car.
"It’s very frustrating," D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee said at the scene. "We’ve been talking about gun violence for a long time. We know this issue is not unique to Washington, D.C., but it speaks to the overall sickness that we’re seeing in our community."
Police closed off the entire block and were still investigating the scene Sunday morning. Authorities have yet to identify the victims or a motive in the shooting.
