Yesterday we reported shots fired at the Cuban Embassy by a man with an assault rifle.
From MPD: “The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) announce an arrest has been made regarding multiple shots fired in the 2600 block of 16th Street, Northwest on Thursday, April 30, 2020.
At approximately 2:10 am, members of MPD’s Third District responded to the listed location in reference to the sounds of gunshots. Upon arrival, MPD members located a subject with an assault-style rifle. The subject was immediately taken into custody without incident and the weapon was recovered. No injuries were reported at the scene. The investigation indicates that the subject was shooting toward a foreign embassy building located in the block.
On April 30, 2020, 42 year-old Alexander Alazo, of Aubrey, TX, was charged in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia with a Violent Attack on a Foreign Official or Official Premises Using a Deadly Weapon, Interstate Transportation of a Firearm and Ammunition With Intent to Commit a Felony, and Willfully Injuring or Damaging Property Belonging to or Occupied by a Foreign Government in the United States. This case remains under investigation with the USSS with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Diplomatic Security Service. Anyone with information should call the USSS at 202-406-8800.”

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!
