14th and Columbia Road, NW

Readers started reporting around 9pm: “This time somewhere south of Euclid near 14th. Probably 15 to 20 shots fired in total.”

“About 15-20 bangs in 3 or so bursts, and then a car sped past my place on Columbia Rd. Cops congregating. Lots of sirens.”

“Gotta be around 30 cop cars within 2 blocks of this, and I keep hearing more coming. I haven’t seen any other emergency vehicles, but I might have missed an ambulance if it got there early.”

“I see at least 16 emergency vehicles, almost all police. I hear a lot of civilians screaming. This doesn’t sound good.”

“Don’t know what happened, but HUGE police turnout at 14th & Columbia in last 10 min. Art least 20 cars have rolled up, including a bunch of black & white SUVs which I don’t normally see.”

“15-20 rounds fired moments ago”

4 people were shot. There was an issue with crowd control.

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.
