Two people were killed and five were injured in a mass shooting in San Antonio on Saturday night. Police in Washington, D.C., were searching for a suspect after a 15-year-old boy was killed and an officer was among three other people injured following a music festival on Sunday evening, officials said. What to watch: Police believe one person was responsible for the shooting and officers were still searching for the suspect, Contee said.

Before the deadly melee, two other incidents had already caused panic and trampling at the unauthorized concert, the DC police chief said.

Several firearms were discovered from the scene, including a handgun on one of the adults who was shot, Contee said. He did not provide details of the incident but said "people started to scatter at that point." "In this case, unfortunately, a 15-year-old lost his life." He said emergency personnel recovered an illegal firearm from one person as they tended to the injured. "The chief and I will continue to make sure we have the resources we need on these corridors and all of our corridors, but we need some accountability here." The 15-year-old boy was killed, and three adults were wounded, including a police officer, Contee said.

Police officials say the 15-year-old killed in the incident had been shot twice before.

Gunshots struck Chase, two adults and the police officer, who was shot as he stood near an ambulance, authorities said. Police said they have not recovered the firearm used in the shooting. Contee said there were fights in the crowd, including at least one between juveniles that police broke up, though no arrests were made. While D.C. police and other agencies routinely deal with unpermitted and unscheduled marches and demonstrations, officials said events that attract hundreds of people require more planning. That same day, a man was fatally shot in Fairfax County and another was killed in Prince George’s County. The next night, a 16-year-old girl was fatally shot in Southeast D.C. in what police believe was an accident, and a man was killed in Prince George’s County. Chase was the third teenager to die by gun violence in D.C. in seven days. Concert organizers, who did not respond to requests for comment, wrote a statement on Instagram denouncing the violence.

Police are asking for the public's help after a mass shooting broke out in Washington, D.C., killing a 15-year-old boy.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099. A reward up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to the gunman’s arrest and conviction. The 15-year-old boy, identified by police as Chase Poole, was killed and three people, including a D.C. Metropolitan police officer, were injured, Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said.
