Thanks to all who messaged last night:

“Someone’s was just shot on 11th and K SE. outside Potomac Gardens. It’s a serious situation with massive police response.”

From MPD:

“Alert: MPD is on the scene of a shooting in the 1100 block of K Street SE”

“On 1/23/19 at approximately 9:15 p.m., officers from the First District responded to the 1100 block of K Street SE for a report of a shooting. On scene, officers located a juvenile male who had sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim was transported to an area hospital for further treatment. At this time, there is no description of the suspect[s].

The case is being actively investigated by First District Detectives. Investigators can be reached at (202) 299-2025, should you have any information about the incident. Alternatively, information can be forwarded to investigators by contacting the Metropolitan Police Department’s Command Information Center at (202) 727-9099.”

Also regarding other messages I received around 8:15pm:

“Massive police presence at 6th & Florida NE near Union Market/Gallaudet. Any idea what’s going on?”
