WASHINGTON — One person was stabbed early Sunday morning in Southeast D.C.'s 1100 block of Bellevue Street, D.C. Police said.
Police are now on the lookout for two black males, between 5'6" to 5'7” in height. The men are thought to be wearing all dark clothing, police said.

The shooting came just hours after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the appointment of Linda Harllee Harper as the city's first-ever Director of Gun Violence Prevention.
