One person has died and eight others were injured in a shooting in Washington, DC, on Sunday afternoon, police said.

警方說，周日下午在華盛頓特區發生的槍擊事件中，一個人死亡，另外八人受傷。

The three suspects "came out of a vehicle" and "ran down the block" before opening fire on a group of nine people, DC Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham said.

哥倫比亞特區大都會警察局局長彼得·紐瑟姆說，這三名嫌疑人“從車里出來”并“撞倒了街區”，然后向九個人開槍。

The shooting appears to be targeted, the police chief said. Two of the men had long guns, and the third had a pistol, he said.

警察局長說，槍擊似乎是針對性的。他說，其中兩個人拿著長槍，第三個人拿著手槍。

The nine victims were all adults, eight men and one woman. Two of the injured are in serious condition, and the others suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Newsham said at a press conference.

九名受害者均為成年人，八名男子和一名女子。紐瑟姆在新聞發布會上說，其中兩人受傷情況嚴重，其他人沒有生命危險。

The incident comes amid a spate of gun violence in major cities across the country this summer.

今年夏天，該事件發生在全國主要城市的一連串槍支暴力事件中。

"This type of brazen daylight activity in a very, very busy block, I'm sure, is scary for this community," Newsham said. "I don't know what people are thinking if they think they can enter a block and lay down that many rounds. They're putting everyone in this community in jeopardy."

紐瑟姆說：“我敢肯定，在一個非常非常繁忙的街區，這種無聊的日光活動對這個社區來說是可怕的。” “我不知道人們在想什么，如果他們認為他們可以進入一個障礙并放下這么多回合。他們正在使這個社區中的每個人處于危險之中。”
