The injured include two juveniles, aged 9 and 17, Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Leslie Parsons said in an update on Twitter. All victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries, he added.

The shots were fired from a dark-colored SUV that had been going down Meade Street, Parsons said, adding that police were alerted to the shooting shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday.
