April 10 (UPI) — One man was killed and multiple people, including two children, were injured Wednesday evening at an apartment complex in northeast Washington, D.C., after two shooters got out of a car and opened fire, according to police who said the gunmen fled the scene and are still at large.
“When they arrived, officers located people suffering from gunshots and immediately began rendering aid. One man was pronounced deceased. Two men, one woman and a 9-year-old boy, were transported by EMS and D.C. Fire to an area hospital for treatment. Thankfully, none of them have life-threatening injuries,” Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith told reporters Wednesday night.
Shortly after the shooting, a 12-year-old boy arrived at another hospital with a gunshot wound from the same shooting, according to Smith. He is also expected to survive.

“The suspects exited a vehicle and began shooting at people that were outside here in the neighborhood,” Smith said, adding that the shooting took place around 6:10 p.m. EDT.
Smith said police are searching for a light blue sedan, based on witness accounts and surveillance footage in the area.
“Lookout is for a light blue Toyota sedan, UNK tags, no front tags, dark tints, black rims with possibly occupied with two shooters inside. L/S heading eastbound on Maryland Ave NE,” D.C. Police wrote Wednesday in a post on X.

“This is another example, and I’ve been here before in this space of violence that we just cannot accept in our communities,” Smith said. “My condolences go out to the families and friends who are impacted by this senseless gun violence tonight.”

Sunday’s look-alike contest at Meridian Hill Park is the latest in a trend of look-alike contests in major cities throughout the country. Timothee Chalamet himself showed up to his look-alike contest in New York City last month.

Barbra Banda scored in the 37th minute to give the Orlando Pride their first National Women’s Soccer League championship with a 1-0 victory over the Washington Spirit on Saturday night.
Banda dribbled into the right side of the box and made a move past a defender before kicking the ball on the ground with her left foot and past the goalkeeper. She became the first player in the NWSL to score in each round of the playoffs.
The Pride’s Angelina was nearly called for a push before passing it to Banda, but the VAR determined that the play was fair.

The Spirit (20-7-2) controlled the game and outshot the Pride 25-9, had two more shots on goal and held onto possession 58% of the time. Rosemonde Kouassi had Washington’s best chance in the 47 minute when she headed a ball from about 10 yards away.
Orlando’s win gave Brazilian star Marta her first NWSL title. The 38-year-old Marta, considered arguably the greatest female soccer player of all time, joined the Orlando Pride in 2017 but had never reached an NWSL championship game until this year.
“(It’s a) magic moment for me because I’ve been in this club for so long and (to) wait for this moment, you know, so it’s… I’m just enjoy every single moment,” she told CBS News Friday ahead of the game. “…This year become like the best year in my club life.”
Top-seed Orlando (21-6-2) went unbeaten in its first 23 matches, a league record. They beat the Kansas City Current in the semifinals before hoisting the trophy at CPKC Stadium, their home field.
Orlando is the first team since 2019 to win the Shield and the title in the same year.
