Washington, D.C., saw three homicides on Saturday night in a mere six-hour time span as President Donald Trump declared victory over what he called a "crisis" of crime in the nation's capital.

A teenager and two adults were killed Saturday in three separate incidents that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is investigating as homicides, officials said. A teenager was shot in a fourth incident, but police have not said if it was a homicide.

The spree is unusual as Trump's crime crackdown in the district has seen a decrease in overall crime.

"We have a very safe city now," Trump said last week. "The country is going to be safe. We do it one at a time."
