A 16-year-old was fatally shot Thursday morning inside an house constructing within the Shipley neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C. police mentioned.
Washington, D.C
16-year-old fatally shot in Southeast Washington
The residences are positioned close to Suitland Parkway and Alabama Avenue, close to the border with Maryland. Police didn’t describe a potential motive.
“It seems the person was focused,” mentioned Cmdr. Leslie Parsons, head of the D.C. police legal investigation bureau.
Homicides within the District are up about 8 % this 12 months. The teenager killed Thursday is the fourth individual underneath 18 slain since January. Two 16-year-olds have been fatally shot in February and in March, and a 16-year-old was killed in April. A dozen youths have been killed final 12 months, 11 in 2020, and 14 in 2019.
Gun violence has helped put crime on the high of residents’ issues and political priorities. A Washington Submit ballot launched in February discovered that 36 % of respondents cited crime, violence or weapons as the town’s high downside. That was twice as many as in a 2019 Submit ballot.
Not too long ago, an impartial D.C. company launched a report outlining a gun violence discount technique for the town, hoping the suggestions would lower violent crime within the near-term and start assuaging the socioeconomic elements that give rise to violence in D.C. over time.
Hours after the youth was shot in Southeast Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) made an look within the Shaw neighborhood in Northwest to announce arrests of members of a suspected drug gang.
Noting that case and the killing of the youth on the opposite facet of the town, Bowser mentioned: “Individuals are uninterested in gun violence. We’re uninterested in mass shootings, and in a metropolis like ours, we’re uninterested in neighborhood violence.”
Federal offices in the D.C. area will be closed Monday but telework and remote employees will be expected to work, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced Sunday night.
Non-telework employees will receive weather and safety leave for the number of hours they were scheduled to work today, OPM said.
However, leave won’t be granted to employees who are on official travel outside of the duty station, who are on an Alternative Work Schedule (AWS) day off or who have another non-workday.
Emergency employees are expected to report to their worksites unless otherwise directed by their agencies, OPM said.

WASHINGTON (7News) — The first winter storm of the year and this winter season arrives tonight with developing snow showers from the west. Plan for snow to last through the day on Monday before ending Monday night.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the entire D.C. and Baltimore metro areas starting Sunday evening through Monday night.
HERE’S THE TIMELINE OF STORM
- Sunday 8 p.m. – midnight: Snow moves in from the west
- Monday 12 a.m. – 10 a.m.: Snow, heavy at times
- Monday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.: Snow ends in some areas, sleet mixing in south of I-66

LATEST FORECAST | WATCH RADAR
HOW MUCH SNOW CAN YOU EXPECT?
Skies will be mostly clear through about the first half of Sunday, with clouds increasing after noon. Snow will increase from the south beginning around 10 p.m.
Expect a wide swath of the D.C. metro area to get anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of snow, with locally higher amounts south of I-66, and lighter amounts in central and northern Maryland.
Most of Sunday remains dry but chilly with high temperatures in the middle 30s.
HOW TO PREPARE
The primary hazards of this storm will be the impacts on travel.
If you must drive, plan for slick roads, especially elevated roads, that will be very dangerous to drive on. Officials are asking that area residents stay home or off the roads.
Flight delays and cancellations are also likely through Monday.
Power outages could also be an issue.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued a state of emergency, while Maryland Gov. Wes Moore issued a state of preparedness.
Sidewalks and driveways could also get slick for those walking outside with pets or to get to Metro.
Amtrak has already canceled some trains based on the forecast.
Refreeze could also be an issue Tuesday morning.
