Shootings took place in Washington, D.C., near the White House on Wednesday night, resulting in one person being killed and five others injured, including two children.
The children, ages 9 and 12, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Officials confirmed the shooting took place around 6:10 p.m. in the northeastern part of the city and that there are probably two perpetrators on the loose.
During a press conference, they said the investigation is in its early stages, but they believe the suspects got out of the vehicle and started shooting.
