WASHINGTON - Not long after a police shooting in Trinidad brought residents to the streets in protest Monday night, an 11-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy were shot in a crowd in southeast.
The two were standing with a number of others outside an apartment building in the 2600 block of Stanton Road around 11:15 p.m. when someone opened fire on the crowd.
After the 15-year-old was shot, he fled the scene and jumped on a Metro bus. When the bus stopped at Howard Road, police got the teen and took him to the hospital.
Both are hospitalized, the boy at Howard University Hospital and the girl at Children's Hospital. Both are in stable condition.
The suspect police are seeking in the incident is described as a black male, 19 years old, wearing a white tank top and blue stone-wash shorts.
