Thanks to all who messaged us. Just when you think…
THEHAUGE6 reports: “@PoPville There was a shooting outside the Cuban Embassy in the 2600 block of 16th St NW around 2:15 AM. Police arrived extremely fast and arrested one man with a rifle.”
One reader reported to us via email: “10+ shots fired at 2:10am. I couldn’t sleep and just heard a LOT of gunshots and now can hear police cars and ambulances. I live on 16th and Euclid.”
Another: “a man shouting something about being a US citizen. That was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard.”
Another: “Heard what sounded like at least 20 gunshots and now there’s a huge police presence on 16th in front of the Cuban embassy with yellow tape on both sides of 16th st”
From MPD:
“Early this morning, MPD units responded to the 2600 block of 16th Street NW in reference to the sounds of gunshots. The officers arrived on scene and located a subject with an assault style rifle. The subject was immediately taken into custody without incident and the weapon was recovered. Our initial investigation is indicating that the subject was shooting toward a foreign embassy building located in the block.
MPD and the US Secret Service are continuing to investigate. Motorists and pedestrians can expect road closures in the area as we investigate.”

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!
