Terrifying doorbell camera video captures wild shootout between gangs of heavily-armed men in suburban neighborhood in Washington DC

This is the shocking moment a wild shootout erupts between gangs in a Washington DC suburban neighborhood.
Dramatic footage, captured on a local resident's 'ring' camera, shows about ten heavily armed men running up and down the street and shooting at people out of view, who also return fire.
The gun battle occurred in broad daylight at around 6.40pm on the 1200 block of Simms Place in Northeast D.C. on Friday.
While most are wielding pistol-like firearms, a couple of the men also appear to be carrying a type of rifle.  
Some of the gunmen can be seen assisting another individual who was wounded in the shooting as police arrived at the scene.

The video opens to a gang of people heading up the street using cars as cover, as someone in a van drives off realizing the situation. One shuts the door to a car suggesting they have recently parked up in the area.
A number of them can be seen holding objects down by their sides as they duck down while running up the street.
Suddenly, the group turns back and runs to where their cars are parked, and the first shots are heard as the men shoot their guns up the street. 
A number of the group hide behind cars and raise their weapons, pointing them up the street in the direction they just ran from. 
They seem unable to get a clean shot, so they move back down a couple of car lengths, to where the group has gathered again.
One of the men runs past one car as his friends tell him to wait, but he doesn't listen, and fires off a few shots up the road with what appears to be a rifle, before turning around and running back down the street past where their cars were parked.
At one point, the gang of men advanced up the street but were soon turned around when shots starting firing

Others also fire shots as he runs back, while some of the group keep crouched down next to the cars closest to the house where the CCTV camera is.
At this point, a large number shots can be heard from both sides, as the group aim their weapons up the street at other anonymous shooters off camera.
Two of the men reach into their car and pull out another large rifle, which one uses to fire up the street over another parked car.

Before he can shoot it any more, a siren can be heard in the distance, and the man scurries to hide his rifle in his car. He then walks with a friend up the street towards where they were shooting, where he finds another member of the group.
As a police car arrives, the pair are seen hugging perhaps to show their innocence to the police officer who is shown a few seconds later getting out of his car to speak with the group.
A number of the other people in the group managed to escape back down the street before the police officer arrived.
The shooting lasted for less than two minutes, according to reports, and six people were arrested, police said.
It is unclear if anyone was seriously injured, and police are currently investigating the incident.
