A woman and a dog recovering after both were wounded by gunfire.
Investigators are still searching for whoever is responsible.
Fox 5's Shamari Stone is in southeast D.C. tonight with what we know.
Right now, people who live in the Southeast D.C. neighborhood
tell me it sounded like a war zone, rapid gunfire,
that shooting happening behind me inside of the courtyard over there,
hitting the woman and a dog that was nearby.
The new video showing dozens of police officers on the 700 block
of Atlantic Street Southeast around 9 o'clock Tuesday night.
Officers finding that woman suffering with the gunshot wound
and a bullet also hitting Bella in the back leg.
Tonight, she's back at home from a pet hospital.
Her owner, who did not want to talk on camera,
telling me he's thankful she survived.
She was playing outside the house when the shots rang out.
Medics drove the woman to a hospital.
She is also recovering.
Police went door to door, asking for surveillance videos,
searching for witnesses, clues.
Detectives have not released a description of the suspect
or if the woman was the intended target.
Bullets also hit random houses.
Tonight, I talked to people who live
in this neighborhood and they tell me that they are
too scared to talk on camera out of fear of retaliation.
Meanwhile, if you have any information about
the shooting, call DC police.
Police have not released the name of the woman who was shot.
This investigation continues.
I'm Shamari Stone.
Back to you.
