   A man was killed and five others — including two children — were injured   
   in a barrage of gunfire Wednesday in the nation’s capital.   
      
   The shooting happened just after 6 p.m. in the Carver Langston   
   neighborhood of Washington, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela   
   Smith said.   
      
   The tragic scene occurred about 8 miles away from the White House — where   
   President Biden was hosting a state dinner in honor of visiting Japanese   
   Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.   
      
   Investigators believe the suspects exited a vehicle and then began   
   shooting into a crowd of people on the street. Multiple people were shot.   
      
   One of the victims, an adult man, was killed.   
      
   Two men, a woman and a 9-year-old were taken by ambulance to local   
   hospitals.   
      
   A 12-year-old later arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound and is also   
   believed to be a victim in the shooting, Smith said.   
      
   The shooting comes as the District of Columbia is struggling with a sharp   
   increase in violent crime, which went up 39% in 2023.   
      
   The increase was largely fueled by a 35% rise in homicides and growth in   
   carjackings, which nearly doubled.   
      
   Smith has pushed lawmakers to pass legislation that would strengthen   
   penalties for gun offenses in the nation’s capital.
