In the past hour, Washington D.C. police responded to at least two new shooting incidents, including one on the 3200 block of Hiatt Place NW where one individual was transported with gunshot wound injuries, and another on Benning Road NE where two adult males sustained gunshot wounds and were conscious and breathing. These incidents occurred late into the night and early morning hours of October 25th, 2025, as reported by News From The Concrete. Earlier in the night, as detailed in previous reports, multiple shootings had occurred across the city, resulting in at least 11 or 12 individuals injured, including a juvenile. The majority of these injuries were not life-threatening. Specifically, an incident on Benning Road NE injured two adult males, and another near Howard University resulted in five individuals being transported with gunshot wounds, all conscious and breathing, according to MPD confirmation. In international news, U.S. intelligence agencies reportedly sought to recruit wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill to broadcast propaganda into the Soviet Union during the Cold War, aiming to 'stimulate heretical thinking,' according to a report from The Telegraph. This development comes as President Donald Trump is on a multi-country trip to Asia, having recently imposed sanctions on Colombian President Gustavo Petro and departed Washington D.C. for trade talks in Malaysia.
