At a press conference on Tuesday, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith called the shooting "senseless."
"We have too many guns on our streets and as a community we need to do everything we can to stop this violence from plaguing our city," she said.
The victims were all members of the D.C. community and died of gunshot wounds, according to Smith.
MPD has lost 1,400 officers since 2020. The police union has blamed the city council's actions for the rise in crime.
