Gunfire erupted in a Washington, D.C., area known for its restaurants Thursday, wounding two men, one of whom may have been a bystander, police said.
The shooting at around 8:20 p.m. at 14th Street NW and Riggs Street NW sent diners fleeing.
Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee called the violence "unacceptable" and said the shooting occurred in an area with a lot of people around.
"I think this really kind of speaks to the brazenness of some of the criminals that we're seeing in our community," Contee told reporters at the scene.
