Police believe the shooting happened after an argument during a dice game.

WASHINGTON — At least four people were shot in Southeast D.C. on Monday night, including a juvenile, the Metropolitan Police Department said.

Around 11:20 p.m., police responded to a shooting in the 1200 block of Barnaby Terrace, Southeast.

When officers responded, they found four people had been shot. Police say three men were shot. The fourth victim was a boy in his late teens, according to the police department's Seventh District Watch Commander.

The police department said that the victims were all conscious and breathing when they were taken to the hospital for treatment of their injuries. Police said all the injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening. All victims are said to be in stable condition as of Tuesday morning. 

Police said they're still working to put the pieces together. Preliminarily, investigators believe the incident happened as an argument during a dice game. The argument escalated and shots were fired.
