After Nationals Park Shooting, DC Police Union Blames ‘Elected Officials’ For Explosion In Violent Crime

A Washington D.C. police union blamed “elected officials” for the spike in violent crime following a shooting outside of Nationals Park on Saturday.

“Welcome to Washington, D.C. Where violent crime permeates everything,” the DC Police Union tweeted Sunday. “It is a tragedy that elected officials won’t let us do our jobs.”

An active shooter opened fire Saturday on a street outside of Nationals Park, sparking a frightened crowd to flee the stadium. Police announced that three people were wounded in the attack and were hospitalized, CNN reported.

Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department’s executive assistant chief of police, said that two vehicles were involved in the shooting, but authorities have only recovered one of the vehicles thus far, CNN reported. Police have released images of a gray Toyota Corolla with a missing hubcap on the vehicle’s left side.
