One individual was hospitalized following a shooting Thursday evening at Guitars and Cadillacs, a popular bar in Washington, D.C.
Emergency personnel were summoned to the scene around 8 p.m. upon reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they found a single person suffering from a gunshot wound. The individual was transported to a nearby hospital, and their condition is not yet known.
Law enforcement personnel have begun their investigation into the incident. At this point, no arrests have been made, and the shooter is still at large. It is unclear what precipitated the shooting, and police have yet to release any further information.
Guitars and Cadillacs has been a popular spot for many years, and has attracted its share of violence in the past. In 2016, a man was fatally shot outside the establishment.
The incident is yet another reminder of the City of Washington’s struggle with gun violence. Though the shooting occurred on private property, it is indicative of a larger problem that has plagued the district in recent years.
In response to the shooting, the Washington Metropolitan Police Department has released a statement, urging the public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity.
