2 injured in Northwest DC rideshare shooting

D.C. police said two women were hospitalized after a shooting in Northwest during the pre-dawn hours on Saturday.

Officers responded to reports of a shooting near the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Morton Street in Northwest just before 12:45 a.m. Saturday.



The department said they initially found evidence of a shooting, but no victims were in the area. A short time later, police said, two women were dropped off at a local hospital with gunshot wounds.

Both women had been taken to the hospital by their rideshare driver and were conscious and breathing. A spokesperson for the department told 91Å·ÃÀ¼¤Çé that the victims were inside a rideshare vehicle during the shooting but could not confirm which service provided the ride.

This is a developing story. 91Å·ÃÀ¼¤Çé’s Bryan Albin contributed to this report.
