The nation's capital has seen a steady rise in violent crime throughout Washington, D.C. with a string of gunshots during the weekend bringing the total number of murders in the city to 79 for 2019.
The number of homicides is up five percent from the same point last year, but there have been many other non-fatal gun incidents throughout the city so far. "Late Saturday night, three people were shot in a drive-by shooting as a bus stop on Southern Avenue in Southeast, according to police. The suspect was driving a dark-colored sedan with tinted windows. Two of the victims in this shooting were children, multiple outlets have reported: one six-year-old girl and one three-year-old boy," the DCist reports.
Likewise, on Saturday in the northwest portion of the city, "Twenty-eight-year-old Christopher Payne was shot multiple times" and was killed. Then on Sunday, "Eighteen-year-old Ja’Vontay Brown was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and transported to a hospital, where he later died" in the southeast part of D.C..

Northwest Woodsman: The Darwin effect. Let the fittest and best shooter survive. Since they are killing each other I say give them free ammunition sort of like the free lunch programs. What’s the harm?
