“WASHINGTON – A woman was shot following a funeral in southeast D.C., according to police. This is the third shooting connected to a funeral in recent months.
Officers with the Metropolitan Police Department responded to the 4100 block of Alabama Ave. SE around 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday, June 28 for reports of a shooting.
According to reports, funeralgoers were coming out of New Macedonia Baptist Church when they heard the shots fired. At least one bullet went into the church building through the stained glass window.
Investigators confirmed that a woman was struck by the gunfire. She is reported in stable condition at this time.
Some are saying it’s a blessing that more people weren’t hurt because the place was packed. Church members, neighbors and community sources tell FOX 5 that it was a large funeral service for the mother of a famous D.C. boxer, Mark “Too Sharp” Johnson.
A neighbor said just this morning, church members were outside feeding those in need across street. Then, he came home to find police tape and nearly a dozen evidence markers spread across the area.
