Police are investigating a shooting that took place inside 472 Connecticut Avenue just before midnight Friday night. Police found the victim on the first floor. Radio reports say he was shot in the head by a small caliber gun, possibly a 9mm. The condition of the victim is not known at this time, however I was able to see him lift his arms on his own power inside the ambulance. The suspect fled in a dark colored SUV. Although the victim was found on the first floor police were seen looking for shell casings on the second floor porch. Shell casings were found on the scene but I don’t know where they were located.
