A search was underway in the nation’s capital late Friday for a vehicle that police believe is linked to gunfire that left at least one person dead and at least three others wounded.

The vehicle being sought was a large silver or gray sedan, Assistant Chief Leslie Parsons of the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., told reporters during a late-night news conference.

The shooting occurred around 8:13 p.m. in the Southeast section of the city, Parsons said.

Officers responding to a call about gunfire found a wounded person and transported him to a hospital, then found another wounded person who later died. Two other wounded people sought treatment on their own at a hospital, Parsons added.

The victims were not identified and the medical conditions of the wounded people were not immediately known.
