WASHINGTON -
Man dies after D.C. shooting A race to a local hospital was not enough to save a man who had been shot on the 300 block of Riggs Place Northeast in Washington on Sunday morning. The 28-year-old man was pronounced dead after a driver rushed him to the Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park, according to a Metropolitan Police Department report. His identity has not been released, pending the notification of family. Police are asking anyone with information about the case to contact detectives at 202-727-9099. – Dan Genz Man struck by a car, killed at Riverdale party Prince George’s County police are trying to determine how a man struck by a car during a fight outside a large party was killed early Sunday morning. When uninvited men showed up for a large party on the 5600 block of 67th Avenue in Riverdale, a fight ensued and spilled out into the street. A 23-year-old man was struck by a car and killed. “We don’t know if [the fatal injuries] came from the fight or from the car,” said Cpl. Clinton Copeland, a police spokesman. Police said they would investigate what caused the violence in the party and would not rule out the possibility of gang involvement. – Dan Genz Maryland man charged in Woodbridge shooting Charles County authorities arrested a White Plains man on suspicion of shooting a Woodbridge man Friday afternoon.
