From MPD:
“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s First District and Agents from the Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Internal Affairs Bureau announce an arrest in an Armed Robbery offense and are investigating a Special Police Officer involved shooting that occurred on Thursday, February 25, 2021, in the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue, Northeast.
At approximately 12:05 pm, the suspect entered an establishment at the listed location. The suspect brandished a handgun and demanded US currency.
The employee complied and opened a cash register. The suspect took US currency from the cash register and attempted to flee the scene. A uniformed Special Police Officer, employed by the establishment, encountered the armed suspect and discharged their firearm striking the suspect. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported the suspect to a local hospital for treatment of life threatening injuries.
The suspect’s firearm was recovered on the scene and is pictured below:

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
