A LIVING NIGHTMARE: #MakiyahWilson was shot in the heart and died when a group of masked cowards fired more than 70 gunshots into a crowd of people in Northeast DC. It happened last year. @wusa9 #GetUpDC #wusa9originals

A bullet ripped across a courtyard, pierced this 10-year-old's back, and tore through her heart. That is how the Medical Examiner’s Office explained what happened to #MakiyahWilson before she died.

Makiyah had just returned from getting ice cream @wusa9 #GetUpDC #wusa9originals
“I just seen a car coming, but I just – I knew it was something when I seen everybody face. Everything just went down.” -- Nyjhay Lewis

Lewis was Makiyah's older sister. Makiyah was sitting between her legs when the shooting happened. Four masked men jumped out of a black car and fired more than 70 gunshots into the crowd of people. @wusa9 #GetUpDC #wusa9originals

“Even when she went to the hospital, I said man my daughter got it. Everybody was calling me. I was like ‘I don’t want to hear that.’ I just need her father. We just need to get there. Because I knew my baby had it.” -Donnetta Wilson, mother

@wusa9 #GetUpDC #wusa9originals Image
“I’ve always seen my daughter warm and smiling, but me seeing my daughter cold on a stretcher. That ain’t fair. I still see that.” - Michael Wilson, Makiyah's father

@wusa9 #GetUpDC #wusa9originals Image
Makiyah was a vibrant, outgoing little girl who recently celebrated her 10th birthday. Her parents said she loved school and would have been heading to the 5th grade after the summer was over.

Makiyah wanted to help people. @wusa9 #GetUpDC #wusa9originals Image

@wusa9 #GetUpDC #wusa9originals
Life? Oh, its been a living hell for #MakiyahWilson’s parents and loved ones. There’s no rule book on how to cope with losing a child to gun violence. It just should not happen. @wusa9 #getupdc #wusa9originals

MAN SHOT NEAR WHITE HOUSE | According to the Secret Service, a 51-year-old guy walked up to an officer at 17th and Pennsylvania and said he had a weapon.

The agency said the man allegedly ran toward officer and took something out in a drawing motion. @wusa9 #GetUpDC (thread) Image
The Secret Service said the man got into a “shooter’s stance” as if he were about to fire a weapon.

It was at that point the officer shot the man in his torso. The officer and the man who they shot were taken to area hospitals @wusa9 #GetUpDC Image
The Secret Service came into a press briefing and rushed President Donald Trump out of the room after the shooting happened just before 6p.

President Trump came back about 10 minutes later and said there was a shooting and that things seemed to be under control @wusa9 #GetUpDC

CHILD SHOT IN DC: @DCPoliceDept confirms a child was shot at 53rd and East Capitol Street in Northeast DC around 12:30a this morning.

The child was rushed to the hospital, but it is unclear how serious the injuries are. No suspect is in custody. @wusa9 #GetUpDC #BREAKING Image
A crime check within a quarter-mile radius of where this child was shot revealed a slight increase in violent crimes involving a gun when compared to this same time last year.

However, overall violent crimes in that area remained about the same @wusa9 #GetUpDC ImageImage
This shooting comes at a time where police are dealing with a 20% increase in homicides when compared to to this same time last year.

Thankfully, the child shot in this latest case survived and is in hospital. We’re still working to learn how badly they were hurt @wusa9 #GetUpDC Image

BLACK LIVES MATTER: DC transforms part of 16th Street near the @WhiteHouse into Black Lives Matter Plaza.

Artists painted a massive BLM mural between H and K Streets in response to #GeorgeFloyd and #PoliceBrutality protests @wusa9 @MayorBowser #GetUpDC #BlackLivesMatter
My colleague @KolbieReports captured @DCDPW hanging this sign along the street this morning. Head to her page for more images and videos. @wusa9 #GetUpDC Image
Hot Take: @DMVBlackLives is not here for it.

The social justice organization is calling the mural and street renaming “performative” and “a distraction” as they push for @MayorBowser to decrease the @DCPoliceDept budget. @wusa9 #GetUpDC #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter Image
