More from MPD:
“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting which occurred just after 4:30 p.m. in the south alley of the 1300 block of Irving Street, NW. Two adult males sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, and were transported to a local hospital in serious condition. Police units were in the area at the time of the shooting and rendered first aid to the victims immediately after the event. Officers canvassing the neighborhood did recover a handgun discarded by one of the suspects during his flight, as well as a vehicle stolen from suburban Maryland. The Department of Forensic Sciences is currently processing the crime scene, and the 1300 block of Irving Street has just been reopened Traffic is still heavy in the area, and we recommend avoiding the area for the next hour or two.
If you have any information regarding the shooting, or if you have video that covers this area of the surrounding block, please check you video to see if your camera caught any part of the offense or potential suspects running from the area at about 4:30 p.m. If so, please contact the Metropolitan Police Department’s Command Information Center at 202-727-9099, so that a detective can speak with you.
Additional resources are currently being deployed in this area to try to stem any further crime or act of retaliation related to this offense, to include patrol officers and members of the Crime Suppression Team.
Please be assured that the MDP/Third District is already working hard to identify the suspects in this offense and remove them from your community. Your support in this endeavor is greatly appreciated.”

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!
