WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Five people were taken to the hospital after a shooting near Howard University Friday night, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

Officers responded to sounds of gunfire in the 600 block of Howard Place NW shortly before 8:30 p.m.

Police found three men, one woman, and a 13-year-old boy who had non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. DC Fire and EMS took them to the hospital.

MPD said that although no victims were Howard University students, one of the victims attended Morgan State University. The schools’ football teams play each other on Saturday as part of Howard’s homecoming weekend.

Officers explained that two people were taken into custody and that police recovered three weapons at the scene.

One of the people taken into custody tried to run from officers, but police caught the person in a McDonald’s parking lot.

As of Friday night, MPD had not identified either person taken into custody.

A witness told DC News Now he was with his cousin when the shooting took place.

“All we heard was yelling,” he said. “We can’t do nothing in D.C. … this happens every time there’s a function in D.C., especially homecoming. D.C. [is] dangerous.”

Jaiden Ramirez said he was playing basketball when he saw three men running across the street, yelling at people. Then he heard several gunshots.
