UPDATE

The Washington Post, and NBC 4 are both reporting a shooting at 8th & H. There was also a police alert regarding a shooting in Rosedale. A resident emailed me saying that there was really just one shooting, and what happened was that the shooting occurred in Rosedale, and the victim was found at 8th & H (this might explain the quick clean up at 8th & H). I'm not really sure what happened, but you can read both MPD alerts after the jump.
