From MPD:
“Robbery with shots fired
On March 8, 2020, members of the Fifth District were dispatched to the 1300 block of W Street NE for the report of a robbery. Once on scene members learned that the complainant was approaching her car when the two suspects, described as black males, 10-12 years of age, confronted her and demanded her property.
The suspects were able to obtain the victim’s iPhone and chased her as she ran away. One of the two males pointed a handgun at the victim and fired twice and both suspects fled on foot. The complainant sustained a graze wound and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
This offense is being investigated by the Fifth District Detectives Office. Anyone with information is asked to call (202)727-9099.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
