Once members arrived on the scene, they located C1 suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg. C1 was bleeding profusely (it was later learned from WHC doctors, that C1 was shot through the femoral artery) at which time, Ofc. Collin Cole, Ofc. William Burke, and Ofc. Sara Conner immediately began to render life-saving medical assistance. These members quickly calmed C1 down and employed C1’s belt as a tourniquet and medical dressings to slow and stop the arterial bleeding.

While on the scene, C2 was located and was found to be suffering from a laceration to his right ear. C2 was subsequently transported to WHC for medical treatment. C3 was located and found to be shaken and in shock.

Through and on-scene investigation, it was learned that at approximately 0740 hours, members of the church located at 2715 22nd Street N.E. witnessed S1 breaking into C2’s parked vehicle.

S1 then fled the immediate area and attempted to enter another parked vehicle, a Grey in color 2016 Toyota Camry four-door bearing Maryland temporary registration of T958239 (previously stolen vehicle CCNs 19-122368, previously stolen tags 19-123174, and vehicle believed used by S1 to arrive at the crime scene) and flee the scene. S1 could not find the key to this stolen vehicle and he fled from this vehicle.

S1 then encountered C3, who was driving and about to park her Grey in color 2006 Toyota Corolla four-door bearing Maryland registration of 5CDX96 at the intersection of 22nd & Evarts Street N.E. S1 while armed with his handgun ordered and pulled C3 out of her vehicle. C1 intervened in this offense and attempted to come aid C3. At this time S1 shot C1 in the left leg with his handgun. S1 then fled the scene in C3’s carjacked vehicle. S1 fled northbound in the 2700 block of 22nd Street N.E. and while doing so clipped the driver’s side mirror of a parked and unoccupied vehicle.

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!
