WASHINGTON — Police are investigating after three people - two students and one man - were hurt in a Wednesday morning shooting.
All three of the victims' injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening as of about 9:30 a.m., police confirmed. The victims have not been identified at this time.
The shooting happened in the 5300 block of Dix Street NE near Marvin Gaye Park Wednesday, just after 9 a.m.
Officials said the students did not attend school in the immediate area. They are unsure why those students were in the area.
"It's unclear whether or not [the victims] were going to school," Peter Newsham, the DCPD chief said at a press conference Wednesday morning after the shooting. "The two juveniles that we have are students at schools in this district but not in this immediate vicinity. School starts by 9 o'clock, and as you know this happened after 9 o'clock."
Police said they are searching for one teen, black male juvenile wearing a black shirt and tan pants. He was last seen in the 5300 block of Dix Street on foot.
The triple shooting was just half a mile away from another shooting Wednesday in the 900 block of Division Avenue NE. That shooting left one man dead and another injured.
