A 15-year-old boy was killed in a shooting in Northeast D.C. Thursday afternoon.

The shooting took place near a bus stop as children were being dropped off, police said. A witness described hearing the students yell "run" as shots rang out.

"We would hope that every place would be considered a safe haven, none more so than in and around schools," Washington Teachers’ Union President Jacqueline Pogue Lyons said in a statement. "In this case, so many kids were put in danger at the time of the shooting, creating a horrendous scenario. Gun violence has now robbed one more person of a full and productive life.”
