Police said five people were shot in Northwest D.C. on Thursday. <\/p>\n
Five people were shot after a fight broke out on a Metrobus in the Brightwood neighborhood of D.C. on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Interim Chief of Police Jeffery Carroll said at a news conference on Thursday night that during a dispute on a Metrobus around 5:40 p.m., the bus stopped at the 16th Street and Military Road stop. When the bus stopped, Carroll said, the argument among passengers spilled out onto the sidewalk, and that\u2019s when gunshots rang out.<\/p>\n
Five people, two juveniles and three adults, were shot and treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital.<\/p>\n
Carroll said they are looking for one suspect, who fled the scene on foot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not the way we resolve disputes. If there\u2019s any sort of conflict, obviously we work things out. We don\u2019t pull out gunfire, and that\u2019s the issue we have \u2014 too many illegal firearms here in the community,\u201d Carroll said.<\/p>\n
The roads in the area of the investigation are closed in both directions and motorists are warned to avoid the area.<\/a><\/p>\n Below is the area where the shooting happened:<\/p>\n
