From MPD Sunday 5:30am:
“Earlier this morning, Third District officers were patrolling the area of 9th and U streets NW when they heard the sound of a single gunshot. Officers pursued a subject on foot, detaining him a short distance away. At the time of the stop, the subject was in possession of a firearm magazine loaded with ammunition, but no firearm.
A short while later, an adult male approached the officers with injuries consistent with graze wounds to the lower extremities. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
Officers and detectives are continuing to investigate this incident. Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”

On Saturday a reader reported:
“we heard several gunshots around 2:30 am today. At least three @DCPoliceDept patrols were present at 14th and Otis St NW and they seemed to be looking for bullet shells with flashlights on both sides of 14th. Today we tried to ask around but everyone seems to be 🤫”
