Shooting outside a Washington, D.C., funeral home leaves 1 dead and 3 injured
One man died and three others were wounded in a shooting Tuesday at a Northeast D.C. funeral home, police said.
A funeral for a homicide victim had just ended at Stewart Funeral Home in the 4400 block of Benning Road NE around noon when someone shot people standing outside, Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said at a news conference.
Contee said an officer who was nearby heard gunshots and discovered four adults had been shot.
One man died. The other three victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries, the police chief said.
Several people standing on the block after the funeral appeared to be targeted, but police don’t yet know why, Contee said.
Police have not identified a suspect and investigators are still working to interview witnesses, Contee said.
