“Dear PoPville,

I live around NoMa, there’s a dozen cop cars and ambulance all at the North Capitol & New York Ave NW intersection, and police tape around apartment building adjacent to it. New York Ave is shutdown, and it’s a six lane road during rush hour, so this is rare. Anyone know what’s happened? Passerby said someone was shot, no more info.”

Another reader reported: “Heard a horrible explosion sound and tons of cops have been driving by and fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.”

MPD reported: “Shooting Investigation in the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, NW

On twitter a resident responded to MPD: “I was in my car right below this when it happened, we could hear a long barrage of heavy gunfire and then a long return series of a lighter shot.”
