A woman was shot near the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and K Street NW at the Georgetown waterfront around 11 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11. Her injuries appear to be non-life-threatening, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, which is looking for the suspect, seen wearing a mask.
The victim was seated in the front passenger seat when struck by two bullets. The driver of the car drove it to 20th and L Streets NW, where an MPD officer was flagged down and assisted in medical treatment until D.C. Fire & EMS arrived.
Georgetown Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner Lisa Palmer, who lives near the crime scene on K Street (also known as Water Street west of Wisconsin Avenue), emailed her constituents:

The adult female victim was transported to an area hospital to be treated. Officers and detectives continue to investigate this incident but share that this was not a random act.
