Police are continuing to investigate a shooting in the Petworth neighborhood that left a woman injured

WASHINGTON – There was a heavy police presence on Georgia Avenue Friday morning following a shooting in the Petworth neighborhood that left a woman injured.

Crime scene tape and chalk circles marked the locations where bullets were fired. A large portion of the road was closed for several hours while investigators examined the crime scene.

FOX 5’s Melanie Alnwick was in the neighborhood Friday and said some of the bullets shattered a window at a CVS across the street, causing people to run for cover. Police later determined that a woman had been shot and located her about six blocks away near Warder Street. She was taken to a hospital and is expected to recover.

Witnesses reported seeing a man wearing a ski mask among the shooters. The incident occurred around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday, prompting neighbors to run up the street and hide in a basement stairwell. They also saw a car speeding away and said the gunmen appeared to have fired indiscriminately.

It remains unclear whether the shooting was accidental or targeted. The investigation is ongoing.
