They ran inside a restaurant and hid behind a wall in a staircase.

“I literally thought one of us was hit,” Jenkins said on the phone to us. “It was terrifying.”

One victim lay nearly lifeless just a few feet away from her as first responders administered aid.

The shooters were reportedly teens who fled on foot. According to reports, this is the 4th shooting in DC just today.
