Shooting on 800 block of Tuckerman St. NW/500/600 block of Somerset Pl at 2:15pm Tuesday.

A resident writes to MPD4D:

“It seems that there were at least 8 shots fired, so I am surprised to hear that nothing was found, no damage/no shell casings. Did shot spotter detect anything?”

MPD responded:

“No Shot Spotter detection, however, shell casings were recovered.”

A PoPville reader reported shots fired “Around 810 tonight [Tuesday], a few blocks north of Sherman circle. [apprx 7th and Emerson St, NW]

From the MPD1D Listserv:

“Can you tell us anything about the 6 or 7 gunshots heard around 12th & H Street NE, about 1:50 am?”

MPD responds:

“there are no records of any call placed into 9-1-1 or the sounds of gunshots detected in the field from the area of 12th & H Street NE, from midnight to 3 AM.”
