Four people were shot and killed in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, marking a grim milestone as the district surpassed 100 homicides in 2022 — the earliest the city has recorded that many killings in almost 20 years.
Two teenagers were among those who died this weekend, with a 15-year-old being shot on Saturday in the Shaw neighborhood in northwest Washington and an 18-year-old being shot in the 800 block of Quincy Street in northwest Washington on Sunday. Two other teenagers were shot in the Sunday incident but did not sustain life-threatening injuries, according to police.A 45-year-old man also died Saturday evening in the 1700 block of West Virginia Avenue in northeast Washington.
The city’s homicide rate is up 16% compared to last year, which saw a record number of homicides with 226 killings, according to police data. Robberies are up 32%, violent crime overall has increased by 11%, and there have been at least 100 carjackings so far this year. “This increase in crime is due to the D.C. Council’s implementation of misguided ‘police reform’ legislation,” D.C. Police Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton said. “The Council’s actions have had a chilling effect on professional and responsible policing.”
