Update from MPD:
“Metropolitan Police Department units on routine patrol heard the sound of gunshots in the area of 8th and O Streets, NW. Units canvassing the area found a 41 year old male, suffering from a gunshot wounds to the arm and groin areas. They rendered medical assistance and an ambulance was requested.
A witness in the area reported that the victim had been observed arguing with another male. That male subsequently fled after firing a handgun at the victim. An additional witness observed the suspect running from the scene. He enter a car a short distance away. The second witness had the presence of mind to record the tag number of the fleeing vehicle.
A lookout was broadcast, and the suspect vehicle was subsequently stopped. At the time of the stop, the vehicle was occupied by three persons, one of whom fit the description of the shooter. Detectives are on both scene and are continuing to investigate. There is a strong likelihood that this will be a closed case.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
