A 15-year-old boy was killed and three people, including a police officer, were shot during a music event for Juneteenth on Sunday, police said.
Several hundred people were gathered in downtown Washington DC for a Juneteenth advocacy and music festival called ‘Moechella,’ which police say was an ‘unpermitted’ event.
About two hours into the event, police moved to break up the event after a fight and another incident led to people getting trampled. Police recovered a firearm from the event before the shooting broke out. Police were trying to clear out the area around 8.30pm when the shooting began. An unidentified 15-year-old boy was killed in the incident, while a police officer was shot in the leg and two other adults were also shot.The incident took place about two miles north of the White House, police said.
Several firearms were recovered from the area after the event was over, including the firearm that was used in the shooting incident.None of the victims have been identified and it’s unclear if police believe the incident was carried out by one person or if they have a specific suspect in mind.
