Another day, another mass shooting in a Democrat-run city.

Just a day after a former bank employee gunned down five people in cold blood in Louisville, now we have multiple casualties outside a place where people gather to mourn the dead.

Fox News has the details:

Washington, D.C., police confirmed that multiple people were shot at the location of a funeral home Tuesday.

A DC Metro Police Department spokesperson said officers are at the scene where multiple people were shot in the 4000 block of Benning Road NE.

The confirmed numbers of victims and their conditions were not immediately available, the spokesperson added.

UPDATE:

DC Police Chief Robert Contee said during a press conference that four people were shot, including one fatally. The gunman remains at large.

He also revealed that investigators believe the individuals were targeted, though the motive remains unknown at this point.

At this point, the Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the community’s help. We’re asking for anyone who has information to please call us anonymously at 2027279099 or you may text us anonymously at 50411. At this point, it appears that several people who were in the block were specifically targeted.

We’re unsure why that is. We’re unsure why these people were targeted, more or less why they were targeted at a funeral. We don’t understand that. We’re looking for the community’s help.

Chief Contee provides a briefing on a shooting that occurred earlier this afternoon in the 4000 block of Benning Road, NE.
