Editor’s Note: The location for one of the shootings has been updated according to new information from the Metropolitan Police Department.

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Three people were injured after two separate shootings broke out just blocks apart from each other in Southeast D.C. only hours apart on Monday amid a heavy federal law enforcement presence, D.C. police said.
 
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said that around 4:05 p.m., a call came in about a shooting that happened in the 2700 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. SE.

A teenage boy had walked into a local hospital after the shooting.

MPD had a lookout for two individuals — one was wearing all black clothes, a white undershirt, and white shoes; the second was wearing all black.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
