WASHINGTON — A woman was shot while sitting in a car at a McDonald's restaurant parking lot in Northwest D.C., early Tuesday morning, the Metropolitan Police Department said.
WUSA9 employees called D.C. police after hearing multiple gunshots near the news station, just before 4 a.m. around Wisconsin Avenue and Van Ness Street NW.
According to a police report, a woman and two other people were sitting inside a car outside the restaurant when someone parked next to them. Police claim that person then repositioned their vehicle to block the woman. The suspect reportedly got out of their car and began shooting at the woman's car, hitting the woman in the upper torso.
The injured woman was able to drive away, taking herself to the hospital to seek treatment for her wound, police said.
No further information about the woman's condition was released.
According to police, a vehicle was involved in the shooting. Police say they are looking for a dark-color Nissan sedan with four doors and damage to the passenger side.
