A pregnant woman was killed and a man was wounded Thursday in what D.C. police called a “targeted” shooting by two suspects armed with what appeared to be assault rifles.

The woman and the man were parked in a car on 37th Street in Southeast D.C. when another car pulled up and two armed men jumped out and opened fire, said Andre Wright, interim executive assistant police chief during a news conference.

The shooting happened about 11:20 a.m.

“This is a brazen act,” Wright said. “It happened in the middle of the day.”
