A 14-year-old boy was shot in Northwest D.C. Monday, authorities said.
First responders were called to a shooting in the 1700 block of 7th Street NW in Shaw at around 10:20 p.m., according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
A group of young people were standing on a second-floor balcony when a dark-colored sedan with tinted windows pulled up and at least one gunman opened fire, hitting the boy in the head and grazing a woman.
Police found the teenager unconscious and took him to a hospital. D.C. police initially said he was found suffering serious injuries but later said they were critical.
