was shot earlier this morning over on haste street in northeast washington just arod the corner from where we are now. there was an inten going on early this morning for the suspect, as zach mentioned. one suspect has been caught. there are at least two or three people believed to have been involved in this that did get away. the search for those suspects is continuing at this hour. so again, two or three suspects are still on the loose, and police are actively searching for the gun that was used in this crime. reporting live from northeast washington, darcy spencer, news 4. >> thank you, darcy. want to check in with news 4 east derek ward. he's following a developing story at the live desk. >> good morning. right now there is a boil water advisory in effect for southern prince george's county. we're talking parts of ft. washington and piscataway. this comes after a water main break last night. ironically, there w so much water from the heavin it
