Two people were shot in Washington, D.C., on Thursday night as diners were gathered for dinner and drinks on a street popular for its restaurants and bars.

A witness said a black sedan pulled up outside several restaurants and began shooting onto the sidewalk.
It appeared that multiple people were injured, including one inside the Mexicue restaurant.
