A reader reports:
“There were some shots fired, followed by a fairly sizeable police presence, around 4 am last night on Monroe NW between 11th and 13th. Anyone know what happened? The cops were looking in trash cans in the alley behind my house. Not quite sure where it happened.”
Another reader reports:
“Around 3:30 am I woke up to someone banging on a door near our place (close enough that it work me up on the 3rd floor of our row house). A minute later I heard two shots — I was wide awake at this point and was hoping that I was hearing things. Then three shots followed, extremely and terrifyingly close. I immediately called the police and reported it. By 3:45 we had a patrol car come by and stick around for about two hours.
My other roommate left the house for work at 5am and reported police tape and a patrol car blocking off our alleyway. Any insight from our neighbors would be appreciated. Stay safe!”
Another reader reports:
“Was awoken around 3:50am last night by five shots fired in the alley behind the 3500 block of 13th St. This was the scene about 15 minutes later. Officer told me a gun had been recovered. Didn’t see an ambulance so not sure if anyone was hit.”

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!
