Police are still investigating a motive behind the shooting near the Edmund Burke School.
Speaking at a news conference Monday, the chief said Raymond Spencer had six firearms in the apartment on Van Ness Street, and that three were fully-automatic rifles. He said police found thousands more rounds of ammunition inside another residence in Fairfax, Va.
Authorities said they still have not learned of any connection Spencer, 23, had to the Edmund Burke School or a motive for the shooting that wounded four people, including a 12-year-old. Contee and Mayor Muriel E. Bowser gathered with other public officials Monday to discuss the shooting that sent panic through the neighborhood along Connecticut Avenue that went into lockdown Friday evening along with the Burke school.
Contee noted that on Friday and Saturday, police responded to a total of 10 shooting incidents with 15 victims, including a man in a wheelchair shot during a dispute, a construction worker directing traffic shot by a person on a ride-share bicycle who was upset with delays, and a man fatally shot and stabbed during an argument at a birthday party.
The police chief has frequently said that people react to crime differently depending on their “proximity to the pain.” On Monday, Contee said of the recent crime, “This should be painful to all of us.”
