I live right at 1st and N where it happened… I thought it was fire works.. didn’t sound loud enough.. but was about 10 shots… they shut down 1st street and taped off the corner… about 15 cop cars.

Tonight on the way home saw an Asian guy filing a police report at the metro entrance. My guess is that he had just been sucker punched by a young punk thug. Nose bleeding, bruised face. I sometimes really hate DC and all of the stupid ass shit we have to put up with like drive bys, jawbreakers, break-ins, and commuters from Maryland.

Right. I was agreeing with him that sarcasm was involved above, but, since the Palisades does not suffer from gun crime often (if ever), the sarcasm he identified was poorly executed.

Jason was conveying contempt.

Living off of 1st and N, I thought I heard something last night, but the rate at which the shots were fired definitely sounded more like someone shooting off a string of blackcats.

was at home (right near 1st and new york) and heard the shots, as well as squealing tires which made me think it was a drive by. very rapid firing, the whole thing was over in 10 seconds.

we have friends who live just a few blocks north that we used to walk to visit sometimes, and i always get the creeps from that stretch of first. there’s always a ton of people on the street, and usually someone arguing or fighting. it’s one of the only stretches of street where i’ve been harassed multiple times (hence ‘used to’ walk it – now we metro, bike or drive.)

from my nieghbor ….
Around 10:30, I went out to walk the dog, and immediately heard about 12 shots, coming from the south. I turned the corner, and immediately upon approaching the 1st and N intersection, three or four cruisers converged. A woman in a silver sedan was also there — she asked me if I’d seen anything,which I had not, and reported having just seen two men firing on each other, before running up N St toward NJ Ave. She then reported this to the cops, I left, and the helicopters and sirens began.

On another note our weekly neighborhood walk with the guardian angels is tonight at 8pm. We meet at the corner of 1st and O St NW.

I haven’t seen anything on the 5D listserve yet.

Sarcasm’s more effective when it makes sense.

My sentiments exactly! However, I will admit, the number (greater than 8 – 10) and speed of the gunshots was eye opening. At least in Dupont they are gentlemen and lead with a knife.
