So, What the Hell Happened in Columbia Heights Last Night?

Last night was pretty crazy and to be honest a bit hard to follow. This is what we know for sure from MPD around 9pm:

“Shooting at 14th & Meridian Pl NW Lookout is for 3 b/m’s mid 20’s wearing all black clothing with hoodies. last seen running westbound across 14th Street NW.”

Josh reported: “4-5 gunshots”

Side note: One reader tells us, “Watched the fire truck and ambulance who were going to the scene be delayed for almost 5 minutes because a MD driver couldn’t back down Meridian Pl to get out of the way.”

Before that is where it gets confusing.

dipika first reported just before 7pm:

“just heard 5 LOUD bangs at 14th & Fairmont. Anyone else?”

From Colin:

“First round of shots were at 6:49pm (probably 4 or 5 shots) and the next round at 6:51pm is when I encountered I believe was 2 shots.”

Then at 9pm was the confirmed shooting at 14th and Meridian.

Update: Commenters believe the 7pm noise was fireworks.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
