So this was the 10th shooting
in DC in just 24 hours.
We've actually mapped them out for you.
You can see the times that each shooting
happened and in what area they happen.
Just a few hours ago,
District officials gave more
insight on the string of shootis
that killed 4 and left nine hea,
including a 10 year old boy whos
just leaving a 4th of July part.
My goodness, do you?
Gonzales is live tonight in
Deanwood where that party was
interrupted by the gunfire.
Hey Dee.
Hi Lorenzo. Adam, you know you n
still see some of the police tape and
some of the shattered glass indications
of last night's drive by shooting that
police say happened here on Mea.
just a short time ago.
I talked to that 10 year old au.
She's exhausted,
she's had a long night and she's
so hurt because she's always had
this 4th of July celebration and
she said it's always been peace.
Here's the good news.
That little boy is going to be ,
she says. He's up and talking.
He still has that bullet lodged in his back,
though, so she said it's very
hard for him to move around.
He will recover from his physical injuries,
but this is taking a toll on the whole
community and you can imagine not only he,
but his family members are
completely shaken by this traum.
The Miko is exhausted after horrific night.
Her annual 4th of July celebration ended
in a driveby shooting just before 1:00 AM
As I was in the street sweeping,
I heard pop, pop, pop,
so we thought it was fireworks.
But then I looked up and I saw a dark
colored SUV with people hangingt
of the windows and sunroof comig
down the street with no lights n
and I immediately grabbed kids.
But her 10 year old nephew got .
Police say one of nine
people shot here last night
came running around the
corner with his brother crying,
saying my brother got shot, he
shot the meat. Shooting
happened in a split second.
The Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner
says he requested police presen.
Police now tell us he asked for one of the
city's 28 GO teams about 5 day community
members assigned to walk neighborhoods
during the 4th of July weekend.
But even they could not
keep the streets safe.
Police and the mayor's office confirming
2 murders happened as the GO tem
arrived to two different neighborhoods,
including this one on North
Capitol and Patterson St.
Northeast.
In all, four people were killed
and nine hurt across the city.
MPD was out there yesterday.
We were in community and we covd
all the major events downtown.
And when the major events downtown ended,
we shifted those resources back to community.
So we were definitely in community yesterday.
The police was leaving from up
there not even 10 minutes later,
Tamiko says. Police were in the area,
but the shooting happened about
10 minutes after they left.
And while some community members have asked
for the National Guard to offer support
if we need the National Guard
to help us and the things that
are within their mission.
We don't have any any problem
calling on them. Instead,
Mayor Bowser is calling on the council
to pass a crime bill and offer
more resources for kids in cris.
We're doing everything to suppot
young people and their familieso
keep them safe. So, so epidemic.
It's an epidemic in America with guns.
I don't think I want to do the .
I wonder was a pedal my*.
Back here, live on Mead St.
shattered glass and shattered l,
Tamiko said. And it may have ben
hard to hear that sound bite
because she was crying, she sai.
I don't know if I want to throw
these parties anymore because I
don't want blood on my hands.
She had family members here,
she had friends,
and it could have been a lot wo.
Now she says that.
They saw that car coming down the street,
lights off, people hanging outs.
Police right now are still lookg
for that dark colored SUV.
They do tell us that they beliee
the shooting was targeted.
I asked Tamiko about that,
and she simply has no idea why
anyone would target her 4th of
July celebration here in Deanwo.
Adam Lorenzo,

This violence is just out of ha.
It's so big of a problem that you just
have to think about it perpetuay
and that just works into your m.
Just sort of ruins these partie,
ruins everything. Do you? Thank.
