A stray bullet from a neighborhood shootout flew into a high school in northwest Washington, D.C., and grazed a female student’s head Friday, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
MPD officers responded at around 9:54 a.m. to a distress call from Dunbar High School and found a 17-year-old girl “with a minor graze injury,” Assistant Chief Leslie Parsons told reporters. The victim was taken to the hospital and her family was with her, he said.
“She is totally fine and is expected to make a full recovery,” he said.
The bullet appeared to have come from a shootout in the 1200 block of Kirby Street NW as a vehicle going the wrong way drove halfway into the block. Several gunfire rounds pierced through glass windows into the school, according to Parsons. The neighborhood is about 0.1 miles from the school.
“The motive remains unknown,” Parsons added.
