A shooting in Washington, D.C., early on Sunday morning left at least one person dead and 20 people wounded, the authorities said. Christopher Brown, 17, was pronounced dead at a hospital after the shooting, Peter Newsham, chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, said at a news conference on Sunday. An off-duty police officer was shot and in critical condition, “struggling for her life,” the chief said. She has been an officer with the department for one year, he said. One of the injured was a 17-year-old and the rest were adults, he said.
