A National Guardsman was injured after being shot while making an attempt to break up a struggle in Washington, DC.

The unidentified Guardsman was shot in the leg after speeding to cease a brawl that had unfolded on the sidewalk in Capitol Hill’s Eastern Market neighborhood at around 11:10 p.m. Sunday, DC cops revealed.

The injured guardsman was among seven to eight personnel that tried to cease the late night time mud up.

A person concerned in the struggle then “pulled out a firearm and began shooting,” Jeffrey Carroll, the Metropolitan Police interim police chief, informed reporters.

“The National Guard members told the individual to drop the firearm. He discharged a round at the National Guard members who returned fire at that suspect,” the cop added.

The wounded guardsman was shot in the leg while the shooter was struck in the stomach. The accidents are non life-threatening and both are being handled in DC space hospitals.

Police say they would like to converse with anyone concerned in the struggle, with cops still investigating the motive.

The capturing occurred in Capitol Hill’s Eastern Market district.

There is no further risk to the public, cops said.
