None of there injuries were life threatening, D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith said in a news conference the night of the shooting.
None of those shot were Howard students. One was a student at Morgan State University in Baltimore. In a statement, Howard officials said the shooting that injured several people “was not affiliated with Howard University, and no Howard University students, faculty, or staff were involved.”
In the minutes immediately after the shooting, officers arrested two suspects and recovered two firearms. They were charged with carrying a pistol without a license, but were determined not to have been the shooter, police said Friday.
Detectives reviewed surveillance footage of the shooting and found that, after a brief dispute between two groups, a single person opened fire. Police said investigators analyzed hundreds of hours of footage from cameras in the Metrorail system, as well as CCTV and private cameras, to identify Dudley as the suspect.
The shooting occurred during the most violent night recorded in the city since a federal law enforcement surge began in August. Gunfire wounded 11 people and killed one in seven shooting scattered across D.C.
