A man was shot as he was walking down the street in D.C.'s Shaw neighborhood Sunday, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. 

Officers were called to a shooting in the 1800 block of 9th Street NW around 2:30 a.m. They found a man shot and transported him to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.  

Authorities said the victim, a resident of Prince George’s County, told officers that he was walking down the street when someone started firing a gun from an unknown direction.

Surveillance video obtained by News4 captured the gunman running away on foot. No suspect information was immediately available. 

Video also shows two people getting into a parked card that was later damaged in the shooting, according to police reports. It's not clear if the people inside were injured.

A D.C. police spokesperson also said two guns were found with the victim and a person he was walking with, so they will face weapons and stolen property charges. 

First responders were also called to a shooting in the 1600 Block of 19th Street SE at 2:15 a.m. Sunday. A woman was shot and transported to the hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening. 

No suspect information was immediately available in that case, either.
