A young woman was stabbed and critically wounded Tuesday morning in the Southeast Washington neighborhood of Benning Terrace, and one person has been detained, according to D.C. police. A young woman who was stabbed Tuesday morning at a bus stop in the Southeast Washington neighborhood of Benning Terrace died later in the afternoon, according to D.C. police.
The victim, described as an adult, had initially been reported to be unconscious and not breathing when she arrived at an area hospital, a police spokeswoman said. Police later said her condition had improved, and that she was conscious and breathing. The woman’s name was not immediately made public pending notification of relatives. Police said they have a juvenile female in custody, though charges had not been filed as of Tuesday afternoon.
The stabbing occurred about 9:30 a.m. on Benning Road between F and G streets SE. Police had said earlier that the victim might have been a juvenile, but later said she was an adult. Her condition at an area hospital had varied over the past several hours.
Police identified the person taken into custody only as a female and said she is being questioned about the stabbing. No charges had been filed as of 10:30 a.m. The victim — who police had earlier said might have been under 18, was not identified. The stabbing occurred about 9:30 a.m. on Benning Road between F and G streets SE. Police did not immediately comment on the circumstances leading up to the stabbing. Police said they are seeking any witnesses to come forward to help detectives.
Police did not immediately comment on the circumstances leading up to the stabbing. Homicide detectives were called to investigate. While police were investigating the stabbing, a man was shot in the arm two blocks away on E Street Southeast. He apparently walked to the stabbing scene and told a television news photographer from WJLA Channel 7 that he had been injured. That occurred about 12:50 p.m.
A station reporter, Kevin Lewis, posted on Twitter: “BREAKING: gunshot victim just walked up to @ABC7News news truck in SE DC. Photographer called 911. Suspect at large.”
Lewis then tweeted: “Victim also requested water. @ABC7News photographer helped victim sit down on curb. Police arrived within minutes.” The photographer was identified as Mike Vaughn.
Police said the man was taken to an area hospital for treatment. Authorities said they do not believe the shooting is related to the stabbing.
