Northwest DC shooting: Active shooter leaves 3 injured; suspect at large
WASHINGTON - Police are swarming the scene after three people were shot near a school in Northwest DC, according to officials. Meanwhile, the search for the suspect continues.

DC police said they received a call about a shooting at about 3:30 p.m. on Friday along the 2900 block of Van Ness Street, NW near Edmund Burke School.

There have been at least three victims located, including one man, one woman, and a 12-year-old girl, according to authorities. Police say the two adults are in critical but stable condition, and the child is in stable condition. Police expect all three victims to survive.

Police are currently conducting sweeps in the area and are urging residents in the Cleveland Park and Van Ness area to shelter in place. Police say they do not have a suspect in custody.

FOX 5's cameras captured someone being led away from the scene in handcuffs, but the police chief later said they were detaining people fleeing the scene to make sure they weren't the shooter. They do not believe the detained people are the shooter.

Videos from the scene show a massive police presence surrounding the area along Connecticut Avenue. FOX 5 crews captured video of officers in tactical gear, armed with long guns who were escorting people out of the area.

FOX 5 DC spoke with witnesses at the scene who said they heard at least 100 gunshots in the area. One witness told FOX 5 she heard four separate incidents or rounds of gunfire take place.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said they were also responding to the shooting to help local authorities.

The shooting took place near several embassies in the Van Ness area, including embassies for China, Pakistan, Israel, Nigeria and Singapore. The U.S. Secret Service said their officers were assisting local police and said there was "no impact to Secret Service protectees."

The University of D.C. announced that their Van Ness campus is on lockdown in response to the shooting. The Sidwell Friends School in Northwest D.C. also announced it is on lockdown.

DC police said a family reunification site has been set up at the Cleveland Park Library located at 3310 Connecticut Ave, NW.

They asked anyone who is searching for family members to go to the location and speak with officials about how to locate them.

The Edmund Burke School nearby also went into lockdown and students are in the building with law enforcement until it is safe for them to leave, Chief Emerman said. Parents are being asked to not come up to the school at this time and to await the arrival of students at a nearby reunification area at The Cleveland Park Library located at 3310 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest. If parents are looking to find a family member/child, they can go to the library and speak with the police and the assisting D.C. government agencies on the scene.
