When officers arrived, they found a man with an apparent gunshot wound to his upper body and several vehicles and businesses apparently damaged by bullets. The man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. One witness identified as Zack told WTOP’s news partners at NBC Washington that he was at a nearby barber shop when he heard gunshots.
“I just heard like 40 shots, just continuous shots, and people were scattering around,” Zack said. “I couldn’t believe it. Everybody was startled.” Another man told our partners that he had rushed into the shopping center. “For somebody to just open fire in this parking lot — it’s wrong,” he said. “My friends work in that barbershop. I grew up with these guys. These guys are my friends, they keep me looking good, and I know they’re scared. I know they’re worried.” Police have not identified a suspect in the shooting.
