90 rounds fired during shooting in DC, bullet strikes child’s bed
Disturbing video captured the sound and sight of rapid gunfire on East Capitol Street that rattled a neighborhood Saturday night.
About 90 shots were fired, police said. Investigators believe there were four shooters and four weapons, including a rifle.
Remarkably, no one was hit, but one of the bullets went through a wall and hit a child’s bed.
Video shows people walking in an alley before the rapid gunfire began. A car then sped out of the alley and headed for A Street SE.
The gunfire stopped for a few seconds, then started again.
When it ended, two more cars left the alley, video shows. One headed toward A Street, and the other toward East Capitol Street.
Three more shots were caught on video after the cars left.
In addition to lodging in a child’s bunkbed, bullets hit two cars. At a charter school adjacent to the alley, two windows were damaged by gunfire.
Police do not know who was targeting who.
In the house where a bullet struck a bed, the residents said they have lived there for 15 years but are looking to move as soon as possible.
