Two people were killed and two police officers were injured early Sunday when a minivan fleeing a crime scene lost control, D.C. police said. About 3 a.m., police received reports of gunshots in the 700 block of Otis Place NW, said Commander James Crane. A man flagged down the officers saying that someone shot at him and drove away in a burgundy minivan with Virginia plates.

Officers saw a minivan matching the description speeding down the 300 block of Upshur Street NW. They pursued the vehicle as the minivan blew through several stop signs, Crane said.
