According to Wright, gunshots in the Sumner Road, Southeast were reported to the police at around 2:30 p.m. on Monday (18:30 GMT).

The police added that they were searching for a gray or silver vehicle that presumably belonged to the suspected shooter, who fled from the scene.

Shooting accidents are not uncommon in the United States, where citizens have a constitutional right to buy and carry firearms.
