5 injured in Washington DC shooting after ‘dispute between known parties’

Five people were injured in a shooting in Washington DC following a “dispute between known parties”, police said. The injured included four men and a woman.

The incident occurred in the 1500 block of Harry Thomas Way NE. Preliminary investigation by police said four people – three men and a woman – were found “conscious and breathing” and rushed to a hospital.

“Shooting investigation in the 1500 block of Harry Thomas Way NE. Preliminary: Adult male and adult female located at the scene, transported conscious and breathing. Two additional adult males arrived at a hospital, both conscious and breathing,” Washington DC Police Department wrote on X.

Police said a fifth patient, a male, was also injured in the incident. “Preliminarily, this shooting stemmed from a dispute between known parties,” police added.

The shooting came three days after the US was rocked by three attacks on New Year’s Day.

A suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a US Army veteran, rammed a crowd in New Orleans with a truck and then opened fire at people, killing 15 and injuring at least 30 others. He was subsequently killed in a shootout with police after the incident.

Hours after the New Orleans attack, Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Armyman, died after he blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Police said Livelsberger died from a self-inflicting gun wound.

In a third incident, at least 11 people were injured in a mass shooting at a nightclub in Queens in New York City.
