Six Wounded, One Killed in D.C. Halloween Shootings

Halloween night proved very violent in the district's Columbia Heights and Park View neighborhoods, where police recorded at least three shootings that killed one person and wounded six others. The first incident was reported about 10:20 p.m. along 14th Street near Harvard Street. Investigators believe a gunman in a minivan opened fire on a group standing on the sidewalk. Four people were wounded. Police issued a lookout for a green or teal 1990 Ford Windstar van.

About 12:10 a.m., police responded to a shooting near the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Lamont Street. Investigators say a man was critically wounded when he was shot in the back during a robbery.

About 40 minutes later, police received reports of two shootings just one block apart- one in the 600 block of Morton St., NW and one in the 600 block of Park Rd., NW. The Morton Street victim was shot in the leg. The body of the Park Road victim was found in the parking lot of a public housing complex.
