This comes amid a surge in homicides in five major American cities, including the US capital. In anticipation of the spike in crime, the Biden administration announced that it will crack down on gun violence in the country.
Two men have been shot dead in a shooting that occurred in the northwestern part of Washington, DC on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the two men shot were taken to a local hospital before they were pronounced dead.
