A triple shooting in broad daylight late Friday morning left three men badly injured, with one in critical condition.
At approximately 10:45 a.m., DC Police said they were called to the 2700 block of Martin Luther King Avenue, SE for a reported shooting. Once on scene, they found three men suffering from gunshot wounds.
All three men were transported to the hospital, and police said one man was in critical condition. The other two victims were treated for serious injuries but were expected to survive.
MPD Chief Robert Contee said the three men were in their 30s.
Police reported late Friday that 21-year-old Joseph Peterson was arrested for the shooting. Detectives' preliminary investigation determined that a suspect fired shots from the vehicle and then the vehicle fled the scene. Further investigation also determined that one of the shooting victims also discharged a firearm in the direction of the vehicle.
The vehicle, described as a black, four-door, later model Audi A8, with a handicap placard hanging from the rearview mirror, and a rear tag covered by a smoke-colored cover was captured by a nearby surveillance camera.
