The shooting reportedly occurred in the 4500 block of Lee Street near the intersection of 45th Street around 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 31. The IDEA Public Charter School put the school on a precautionary lockdown following the shooting, according to the DC Police Department.
The victims are currently in a hospital receiving treatment for their injuries and are expected to survive.
DC police say that earlier on Wednesday morning, one of the involved students came to school without a proper uniform, and walked out of the school after refusing to put on a school-approved uniform. Shortly after, two other students walked out of the school for refusing to get checked by a security officer.
At that time, the three students reportedly got into an altercation resulting in the shooting.
Earlier in morning, the DC community saw another shooting of a child near a public school after a group of minors shot another child in a building about a block away from a school in the 4700 block of Alabama Avenue.
The victim is reportedly expected to survive, says DC police.
