Four people were shot in Washington D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood early Thursday. Police responded to multiple locations in the area, which is located about a mile north of the White House. Authorities urged people to avoid the intersection of 15th Street and P Street. Schools near the scene were placed on lockdown.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent agents to the scene to assist local police. Much of the block where the incident occurred was cordoned off, and streets around the area were also blocked. This is a breaking news story, with more details expected.
Disagreement on exact location
While police urged people to avoid the area of 15th Street and P Street, CTV News reported that the exact location was not immediately available, according to police officer Nathan Clarke. Other reports did not specify details about the exact location beyond the general neighborhood.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated digests mention the specific details about the VIDA fitness centre, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, or the Whole Foods supermarket located near the scene, as reported by CTV News. None of the centre-rated digests mention these specific landmarks. The single right-rated digest also does not mention these specific locations.
