(WASHINGTON) — Two people were killed and two others — including a toddler — were injured in a mass shooting in broad daylight in Washington, D.C., authorities said.<\/p>\n

At about 11:22 a.m. Thursday, three people got out of a car with what authorities believe were rifles and “shot up the block,” Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said at a news conference.<\/p>\n

Three men who were in the intersection at the time were shot, Smith said. Two of the men were killed and the third was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, she said.<\/p>\n

A 2-year-old girl was also shot and hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, Smith said.<\/p>\n

When the gunfire broke out, the 2-year-old was exiting a day care with a group for their morning walk, Smith said. No other children were hurt, she said.<\/p>\n

“This is another example of gun violence that we cannot have in our communities,” Smith said, appearing exasperated. “We’re sick and tired of this.”<\/p>\n

The suspects are at large, Smith said.<\/p>\n

Police are searching for a blue Dodge Charger with heavy tinted windows, Smith said. It appears the suspects ditched one car and then jumped into the blue Charger after the shooting, Smith said.<\/p>\n

“We urge anyone, anyone with information that can help our detectives, to call us right away at 202-727-9099,” Smith said.<\/p>\n
