Major Police Response in Columbia Heights

The Legal Cliche first alerted us around 9:30am: “Big police presence with guns drawn.”

Update from a reader 10:35am: “I live nearby, saw them bring out two teenagers/young adults just now. Looks like they may have been in the red house because earlier they had them come to the front window on the top floor and put their hands up. Then it was like 30 mins until they just brought them out. One kid went into a cop car without issue, the other just resisted getting in and they pushed him around until he got in. Rest of the cops are leaving now. It was quite the scene over the past hour.”

Mathew replied: “I think there is a suspect in an abandoned/empty building on the block – the police just took a bullhorn, and earlier I heard them yelling to come out with his hands up. He is definitely surrounded.”

Shattered Citadel updated at 10:05: “Fire truck also joined. I’m in a building in the block and was also told to stay inside.”

More info when available.
