A witness stated that he heard the gunshots then observed two black males getting into a dark colored vehicle. The vehicle reportedly fled eastbound on Decatur St NW from 9th Street. Moments later, officers made a traffic stop of a speeding vehicle in the area. Upon making contact with the driver, it was discovered that he was suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chin. The victim reported he was sitting in his car when his front passenger window shattered. Realizing he had been shot, he attempted to drive himself to the hospital.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
