Thanks to a reader for passing on his query:

“Curious if you have any information on the gun shooting (8 shots heard by residents) at around 5 or 6 last night around 5th and Allison NW?”

MPD reply:

“There were sounds of gunshots and evidence of firearm discharge. We were able to stop a vehicle that fled the scene. One arrest was made and one firearm was recovered.”

Also of note from MPD:

“The Metropolitan Police Department announced the recovery of 18 illegal firearms overnight in the District of Columbia. Three of the handguns were recovered with high-capacity magazines.”
