Four men were injured in a shooting that took place shortly before 4:30am this morning in the 1700 block of Benning Road NE. Per WTTG (Fox 5), the men were reported to be conscious and breathing. The station has posted photos of police searching the scene for evidence. All the reports I have seen suggested police have yet to make an arrest.
