Authorities have not yet released the name of the victim, who was not on duty at the time of the shooting but was wearing a Safe Passage vest.
It is unclear if he was assigned to a Safe Passage route at Coolidge, or at nearby Ida B. Wells Middle or Whittier Elementary schools. D.C.’s Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education, which oversees the Safe Passage program, referred questions to police.The shooter is believed to have fled in a vehicle, and police have not identified a suspect. Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said during a news conference Tuesday morning that it appears the suspect and the victim knew each other.
“We will work [this case] until we actually get to who the person is that’s responsible for that shooting yesterday,” Contee said of the department’s investigation, adding that the community around Coolidge has been helpful. “And right now, we’re not in a position where we actually know who that is.
But as the program has expanded to include 52 campuses throughout the city, so have concerns about the program’s effectiveness, particularly as young people continue to be killed or injured near schools.
