From MPD:
“This morning a 5D officer was patrolling in the vicinity of the 3800 block of 13th Street, NE, when an unknown subject struck the front driver’s side window of the vehicle with an axe.
The officer was injured and is recovering.
The unknown subject is described as a black male, 5’9, medium complexion and wearing a black jumpsuit.
Anyone with information is urged to call (202) 272-9099.”
UPDATE from Chief Cathy Lanier:
“By now, I am sure most of you have heard that we had an officer attacked by a person with an axe around 0300 this morning while patrolling in his marked police car. The attack occurred in the 1200 block of Quincy Street, NE in the Fifth Police District. Although the officer was injured in a scuffle with the suspect, he did not sustain injuries from the axe. At this time the suspect is still at large and there is no known motive for the attack. I want to thank all of the residents for their calls and emails of support for our officer. We are relieved that his injuries are not life threatening but we must now focus on finding the person responsible. As always, we need your help. Below is a description of the suspect and the last know clothing he was wearing. Please pass along any information that you may have to assist us in locating this suspect before anyone else gets hurt.
The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a stocky build. He was last seen wearing dark-colored or black coveralls. Please contact The Metropolitan Police Department on 202-727-9099 or send text tips to 50411 if you have any information that may lead us to this suspect.
Chief Lanier”

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!
