A second mass casualty incident in as many days has occurred in America.
This time the attack occurred in Washington, D.C., when an unidentified gunman opened fire on bystanders outside a funeral home at 12:17 p.m., minutes after a funeral service for a homicide victim had ended.
The gunman shot four people, fatally hitting one, before fleeing the scene. Metropolitan Police Department Police Chief Robert Contee told reporters he believed the victims were “specifically targeted” but didn’t know why.
Speaking at a press conference, Chief Contee requested help from Good Samaritans, “At this point, the Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the community’s help. We’re asking for anyone who has information to please call us anonymously at (202) 727-9099 or you may text us anonymously at 50411,” he said. “At this point, it appears that several people who were in the block were specifically targeted. We’re unsure why that is. We’re unsure why these people were targeted, more or less why they were targeted at a funeral. We don’t understand that. We’re looking for community help.”
A manhunt is underway for the suspect.
