(about 2 hours later)
A 17-year-old was critically wounded in a shooting at a ­Lanham-area bus stop Monday morning. A 17-year-old was shot and critically wounded in the Lanham area of Prince George’s County on Monday, and five people were shot in the District in separate incidents since Sunday night. One was in critical condition, D.C. police said.
The incident prompted lockdowns at four nearby schools as a precaution and shut down a busy road as police searched for the attackers in the area. The Prince George’s shooting occurred about 8:40 a.m. near a bus stop in the 9900 block of Greenbelt Road. Police said they thought it stemmed from an ongoing dispute.
The incident began about 8:40 a.m. Monday when police received a call reporting a shooting in the 9900 block of Greenbelt Road. When officers arrived, they found a male teenager who had been shot and critically wounded. He was taken to an area hospital. A witness said she heard two gunshots.
Witnesses told investigators that two people approached the victim and one of them shot him,police said. No description of the attackers was available. “I saw the boy slumped down,” Kellie MacLaughlin said. “The boy was lying in the street. This happened out of nowhere.” Four nearby schools were locked down for a time.
“It appears to be an ongoing dispute between the victim and the suspect,” Prince George’s County police spokesman Lt. Dave Coleman said. In the District, the most serious shooting occurred about 4:15 p.m. Monday in the 2700 block of Langston Street SE. The man who was injured was unconscious, police said.
Police could not detail the nature of the dispute. In another D.C. incident, a person described only as a juvenile suffered a gunshot wound in the 3100 block of Knox Terrace SE.
Four schools were put on lockdown, school officials said, but the incident was not related to the schools. The first of the other shootings in the District occurred late Sunday in the 4400 block of Douglas Street NE. The second came early Monday in the 2300 block of Hartford Street SE, and the last was about 4:45 p.m. in the 4300 block of Fourth Street SE. The victims, all men, were described as conscious and breathing.
Kellie MacLaughlin was in the area for a morning appointment when she heard a gunshot. Mac­Laughlin, 29, said she ducked before she heard a second gunshot.
“I saw the boy slumped down,” MacLaughlin said. “The boy was lying in the street. This happened out of nowhere.”
