Metro DC Police have not confirmed the number of victims and it’s unclear how many suffered stab wounds.

Footage from the scene showed dozens of police officers crowding the area as caution tape blocked off multiple blocks and roads.

Several metropolitan police cars lined the streets surrounding the taped-off scene.
