A young girl was shot Saturday afternoon in Southeast Washington, apparently while children were playing with a gun, according to D.C. police. The shooting happened in the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road, said police spokesman Hugh Carew. Police said it appears the gun went off while a small group of “juveniles” was playing with the weapon. The shooting happened inside a three-story apartment building behind a gated cul-de-sac on Pomeroy. It was not clear who owned the gun or how the children got it.
