Two police officers have been shot in Northeast D.C. Thursday night, police say.
NBC 4 reported that both officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries, said Police Chief Peter Newsham at a press conference close to midnight.
Chief Newsham said that it appeared that both uniform officers were shot in the “lower extremities” and that those injuries did not appear life threatening.
