According to Fox news
A Washington, D.C. police officer is “fighting for her life” after being wounded early Sunday in a shootout that killed a teenager and sent many people to the hospital, Police Chief Peter Newsham said at a press conference.
Police responded to reports of shots fired shortly before 1 a.m. at a large gathering in the 3300 block of Dubois Place, part of a residential neighborhood in southeast Washington.
Newsham said 20 people were wounded at the scene. At least 11 of the victims are female.
Christopher “Poppy” Brown, 17, was shot and pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, Fox 5 DC reported. An off-duty DC Metro police officer was shot and is “struggling for her life right now,” Newsham told reporters at the scene, standing alongside Mayor Muriel Bowser.
