A District man was fatally shot outside a swanky club on Washington's Southwest waterfront early yesterday before police shot his alleged killer in another outbreak of violence that is again bringing scrutiny to the region's night scene and the violence on the streets.
The shooting near H2O Restaurant & Lounge has prompted D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier to use her emergency powers and shut down the club for four days. It was the third time she has temporarily closed a club this year.
Such violence at a club as prominent as H2O -- which hosted a fundraiser last week for Sen. Barack Obama, a Democratic presidential candidate -- is eliciting more calls for nightclub reform. "We're in a terrible condition in these places, particularly late at night," said D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1). "It's sadly not surprising, and tragically so."
In the meantime things are no better on the streets of the District. Just overnight at least three more shootings were reported. One 10 year girl old was hit in the leg, a woman was struck in the back by a bullet while walking and an unidentified man was in critical condition after being dumped off at the door of a hospital with gunshot wounds. Police responding to "shots fired" calls found shells and blood but nothing else at another scene.
