Gunfire erupted on the streets of Washington, D.C., on Thursday night and at least several people were shot, local media reported.



Reuters could not immediately confirm the reports. Local WJLA-TV posted images on Twitter of ambulances carrying victims from the scene and said that there had been a "massive" police response.
