A D.C. gun violence prevention effort was interrupted Monday by a double shooting that left two men injured at a local church.<\/p>\n

Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers heard gunfire around 4:05 p.m. while in D.C.\u2019s Rosedale neighborhood, MPD said in a statement. Bystanders pointed officers to a place of worship on 18th Street Northeast, which police identified as Peace Baptist Church (PBC), according to Fox5. The church was hosting a stop-the-violence campaign when shots were fired, PBC\u2019s pastor told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cInside the place of worship, Officers located two adult males suffering from non-life-threatening gunshot wounds,\u201d MPD\u2019s statement read. \u201cDC Fire and EMS responded and transported both men to area hospitals for treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

D.C. Media photographer Andrew Leyden wrote that both victims were \u201cconscious\u201d and \u201cbreathing.\u201d The men were reportedly in their late teens or early twenties, NBC4 said. The two men did not have affiliations with the church, according to Fox5\u2019s reporting, though this appears to be disputed by the findings of the MPD.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MPD\u2019s investigation found a group of people in a fenced-in utility area on church property. At least one suspect amongst the group fired toward that group, the statement alleged, before reportedly fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n

While officers were interviewing witnesses within the church, they arrested a 16-year-old juvenile male who was allegedly carrying two backpacks and two firearms. He has been charged with counts of \u201cCarrying a Pistol without a License,\u00a0Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition, and\u00a0Possession of a Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p>\n

MPD continues to investigate the shooting and the juvenile\u2019s alleged involvement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The shooting took place as youth inside the church received summer employment training to become gun violence prevention leaders, according to NBC4. Parents expressed their frustrations over D.C. police keeping participants inside the church for nearly two hours after the shooting, the outlet said.
