Police hunted for two suspects believed to be armed with an assault rifle on Friday after one person was killed and five were wounded in a shooting on the streets of Washington DC about two miles from the White House.

The victims had been standing in an apartment building courtyard in the Columbia Heights neighbourhood when the drive-by shooting took place on Thursday night, Metropolitan Police commander Stuart Emerman said.

One man was killed and two of the five wounded were in critical condition, he said.

Two suspects were seen in a Nissan sedan and used an "AK style rifle", police said.

They said the incident was now over.

"Detectives are interviewing witnesses and looking for camera footage," Mr Emerman said.

ABC affiliate WJLA-TV showed ambulances carrying victims from the scene and said there had been a massive police response.

Came in thinking somebody was shooting by the White House (which takes BIG balls with all the security and police over there) then I saw Columbia Heights

That's like saying Howard University is near the White House to you cats not familiar with DC.
