This rash of shootings comes as the District battles with an uptick in crime, including robberies.
The Metropolitan Police Department (DC Police) is dealing with a string of robberies after 16 robberies were reported in the District on Saturday. The department also reported several additional robberies to Twitter on Sunday, including armed robberies.
According to D.C. Police data, 16 robberies is the highest number of robberies in one day reported by the department in the last 30 days.
ANC Commissioner and Black Lives Matter DC core organizer Anthony Lorenzo Green said those numbers are concerning, and he believes it’s a direct correlation to the pandemic.
