10 year old boy among those shot in violent District night

A 10-year-old boy was shot and wounded Saturday afternoon steps from a playground outside an apartment complex in Southeast Washington, according to police, and officers were searching for two men wearing black masks.

The child was one of several people shot on one of the District’s most violent days in weeks. Authorities said he was struck in the left leg and was reported to be conscious at an area hospital.

D.C. Police Capt. Kelvin Cusick said the circumstances of the shooting were not immediately clear, but it appears that the child was not an intended target when at least one gunman opened fire shortly before 5 p.m. in the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road.

The boy was one of eight people shot Saturday in Northwest and Southeast Washington. Two of the victims — a 19-year-old woman in an apartment in Southeast and a 29-year-old man in Columbia Heights — died from their wounds. Their deaths ended a 14-day stretch without a homicide in the District.

Saturday afternoon’s shooting of the 10-year-old took place near a playground that community leaders described as broken and filthy, located on a cul-de-sac surrounded by three- and four-story apartment buildings in Wellington Park, adjacent to Barry Farm.

Cusick said the neighborhood is relatively safe, but others disagreed. Trayon White, who in June won the Democratic primary for the Ward 8 City Council seat, said the playground is dilapidated and riddled with animal feces.

“There’s a lot of neglect here,” he said, noting a shooting nearby earlier on Saturday and another within the past few weeks.

White said the community needs to step up, but “the police have to meet us halfway. MPD has to be present.”

Paul Trantham, a member of an Advisory Neighborhood Commission in Ward 8, stood at the crime-scene perimeter and called on Cusick to put more police in some of the city’s most desperate neighborhoods. He said police should be doing more to seize guns.

Later, in an interview, Trantham said that shootings such as the one involving the 10-year-old “aren’t happening in Northwest.” The police, he said, “need to put a force out greater than what they have here.”

The first of Saturday’s shootings occurred shortly after 2 a.m. in the 900 block of Emerson Street NW, near the Brightwood Park neighborhood.

Two people were shot and wounded in a car about 2:35 a.m. on the Anacostia Freeway near Suitland Parkway. No other details were available. Authorities shut down the southbound lanes of the freeway for several hours, diverting traffic onto local roads in Anacostia. About 2:40 a.m., police said, a person was shot in the 5300 block of Georgia Avenue NW, in 16th Street Heights, about four blocks from north of the shooting on Emerson Street. About 3:15 a.m., police reported a shooting in the 2400 block of Elvans Road SE.

Six minutes later, police said, a person was fatally shot in the 3500 block of 14th Street NW in Columbia Heights. Police said Edward Roberts Jr., 29, of an unknown address, died at an area hospital. Trouble was reported in the area about 11 p.m. Friday when several gunshots were fired, police said. No one was struck in the 1300 block of Irving Street NW, about a half-mile south of the fatal shooting on 14th Street.

Police said that about 3:50 a.m., a woman was fatally shot inside an apartment in the 2300 block of Good Hope Road SE, at Marbury Plaza. The victim was identified Saturday as Anaiona Gaston, 19, of Hyattsville. Authorities said she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said they arrested a suspect in Gaston’s killing. Malik Fields, 21, of Southeast, was charged with second-degree murder while armed.

Before Saturday’s fatal shootings, the most recent homicide recorded in the District occurred July 15. Police said Sharod Harris, 20, of Southwest, died after being shot about 3:15 p.m. in the 4300 block of Fourth Street SE, near Washington Highlands. Two other people shot in that incident survived.

As of Friday, according to the latest statistics available, 70 people had been killed in the District, down 15 percent from the 82 homicides recorded at that time last year. The figures do not include the two victims from Saturday.

In all of 2015, police said, 162 people were killed, which was a 54 percent increase compared with the 105 slain in 2014.

It's all BS. DC has strict gun control laws so this could never happen!

You people bitch about everything.

It's sad that an innocent kid was involved, but this is a criminal problem not a political one. The culprits probably have the education and mental capacity of 10 year olds themselves.

Honestly, this blaming a candidate for every wrong in the world is annoying. What are any of you posters doing to change a thing?!? Posting anonymously saves lives? Whatever.

Wait... So you're saying that when Democrats and Hillary in particular cite such deaths as a pretext for pushing for gun control, which would do little to nothing to actually address the root cause, it's a political thing?

I'm saying that bad people will do bad things regardless of the laws. Should I blame you because you didn't do anything to stop the violence either? I am in favor of gun control laws as well as mental health support. I am in favor of a president that works on that.

In this case, it sadly seems like a lost cause. The Ward 8 member said t himself that the neighborhood is a shithole. It's going to take community level action to change it. Maybe you could create a neighborhood watch group or donate some money to the cause. You know, since you're complaining about a politician's ideas, what are yours?

It's terrible and sad that a 10-year old was shot.

@Really..., I disagree that Ward 8 is a lost cause. I agree with you that mental health support is an important part of the answer.

My ideas? We need to face up to inconvenient truths. The number of knife and machete attacks in the news testify to the futility of trying to reduce violence by focusing on weapons. The clear correlation between gun control and increasing gun violence is also an important marker. Instead of focusing on the gun, we should realize that:

1) Incidences of black-on-black violence are orders of magnitudes higher than any other violence with blacks as victims.

2) Black-on-black violence used to be rare; but it increased greatly as the black family broke down.

3) When 80% of black families were nuclear families, violence was rare. Now that only 4% are nuclear families, violence is a way of life.

4) When 80% of families were nuclear families, guns were not controlled, yet violence was rare.

5) Federal policies broke nuclear families. An economic truism is that when something is taxed, you have less of it, when something is subsidized, you have more of it. Federal policies subsidized non-nuclear families, and taxed the nuclear families to pay for the subsidies. Predictably, the number of nuclear families declined.

6) Federal policies toward families have to change.

6) Unless the percentage of nuclear families increases significantly, violence will prevail.

I'm guessing you don't understand the dichotomy here. You realize that "bad people" don't care about the law, yet you want more of the laws.

You realize that - even by your own admission - that only the "good people" are going to follow those new and more stringent laws, right?

Step ONE is for nigger families to give a shit about their own lives and neighborhoods. That is far from happening for several reasons. They haven't evolved and the media and liberals keep telling them that their PROBLEM is the police and at every turn, evil racism. Until they gain some accountability, their situation will get much worse. And I for one say fuck'em - since all they do is blame the white man and cops that get paid shit wage to protect their nigger asses.

Libs think throwing money around and forming some kind of focus group is a solution. That's why we are $20 trillion in debt and worse off nearly 8 years later.

They focused on berating police, encouraged the murder of police and celebrated the lives of criminals at their convention. Meanwhile, the Trump convention was about strength, unity, family and hard work.
