”We’re asking for the public’s assistance to bring these shooters to justice,” expressed Executive Chief Ashan Benedict, Metropolitan Police Department. “…There’s too much gun violence still perpetuated in this city and too many children are being harmed, innocent children, by gunfire”.
Authorities did not release information regarding potential suspects and continue to search for videos or witnesses to the shooting.
