“On my morning commute this morning around 7 am, I came to an abrupt halt at 9th and Florida due to the whole area being closed off by police. From Warby Parker in Shaw all the way down to Nellies was taped off, including side streets. There were multiple police cars throughout each closed off area as well.”
Anne reported:
“What in the world is going on tonight?! Sounds like there may be a third. Heard at least 6 gun shots around 10:35 or so. Shortly after, lots of sirens. Still hearing them now. Can’t be certain but the sound of the shots seemed like it came from somewhere southeast of Shaw/Logan.”
From MPD:
“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting in the 800 block of Florida Avenue NW. An adult male has been transported to an area hospital with a non life threatening gunshot wound.
Motorists and pedestrians can expect road closures in the area as we investigate.
Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
“In reference to the shooting investigation, the 700 and 800 blocks of Florida Avenue, NW along with the 1900 and 2000 blocks of 8th Street, NW are currently closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. These closures may extend into rush hour traffic so please plan an alternate route should this be your normal course of travel in the morning.”
Ed. Note: Further west on Florida Ave:
“Good morning. The Northbound lanes of 18th Street NW between T Street and Florida Avenue are currently closed to vehicular traffic as a result of a police investigation. The Metropolitan Police Department is assisting with traffic control for a federal agency who has executed a search warrant related to violent crimes and narcotics in the block.
We are working to get the roadway reopened as soon as possible. In the meantime motorists may experience delays in this area.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
