Dozens of Bullets Fly Through Homes in DC Neighborhood Overnight
21st October 2016
Officers with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) responded to the Stanton Glen Apartments on Naylor Road after an unknown suspect open fired in the Southeast, D.C., neighborhood. A woman who wished not to be identified said at least 15 bullets went through her home while she and her children were sleeping. She says she awoke to the sounds of gunshot and saw smoke, reports NBC Washington.
“They thought they were fireworks,” the woman told NBC4.
No one was injured in the shooting and police are investigating the incident. Bullets went flying into another apartment on the 3400 block of 12th Street at roughly the same time. Officers also found multiple cars riddled with bullet holes on the 300 block of Stanton Road in Fort Stanton.
Thank God for those strict D.C. gun control laws, or the place would wind up like Texas.
