From MPD:
“On April 18, 2015, at approximately 11:47 PM, Fourth District officers were dispatched for the sounds of gunshots in the 1600 block of Webster Street, N.E.
After canvassing the area, a victim was located in the 4300 block of South Dakota Avenue, N.E. The victim was found to be suffering from gunshot wounds to the lower back and neck. Pursuant to a preliminary investigation, it was determined that the victim was shot during a robbery that occurred somewhere in the vicinity of the 1600 block of Webster Street, N.E. The victim fled the scene in his vehicle, and crashed into a pole and a fence in the 1600 block of Webster Street, N.W. The victim later stopped his vehicle on South Dakota Avenue. The victim was transported to a local area hospital for treatment of his injuries.
As a result of the preliminary investigation, Fourth District officers made two arrests and a loaded handgun with an extended magazine was recovered from the scene.
Additional evidence has also been recovered, but the investigation is continuing as several suspects are still at large. Anyone with information about this offense is asked
to call the MPD Command Information Center at 202-727-9099. Thank you for your assistance!”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
