Thanks to all who messaged last night:

“Someone’s was just shot on 11th and K SE. outside Potomac Gardens. It’s a serious situation with massive police response.”

From MPD:

“Alert: MPD is on the scene of a shooting in the 1100 block of K Street SE”

“On 1/23/19 at approximately 9:15 p.m., officers from the First District responded to the 1100 block of K Street SE for a report of a shooting. On scene, officers located a juvenile male who had sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim was transported to an area hospital for further treatment. At this time, there is no description of the suspect[s].

The case is being actively investigated by First District Detectives. Investigators can be reached at (202) 299-2025, should you have any information about the incident. Alternatively, information can be forwarded to investigators by contacting the Metropolitan Police Department’s Command Information Center at (202) 727-9099.”

Also regarding other messages I received around 8:15pm:

“Massive police presence at 6th & Florida NE near Union Market/Gallaudet. Any idea what’s going on?”

One reader reported:

“MPD Says a mountain bike officer was hit by a vehicle. The officer has minor injuries. The striking vehicle remained at the scene”

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.
