A video posted online appeared to depict the gunman shooting indiscriminately into the street as people scrambled for cover.
The gunman who injured four people and sent panic through a Washington, DC, neighborhood Friday was perched on a"sniper type setup" on a fifth-floor window as he shot dozens of rounds into the street, officials said.
"Evil reared its ugly head in our community," DC Police Chief Robert Contee said during a press conference Friday."This person was just shooting randomly at anyone who was out there." Four people were shot in the attack, authorities said, including a 54-year-old man, a woman in her 30s, and a 12-year-old girl. The three were taken to a nearby hospital and were listed in stable condition. A woman in her 60s appeared to have suffered a"graze-like" wound and was treated at the scene.
By Friday night, police said the gunman appeared to have killed himself just as officers were about to locate him.
