9:30pm Shooting on Georgia Ave in Petworth; 10:38pm Shooting in the 400 block of 2nd St NW and a macing and stabbing in Navy Yard at 11:04pm and one very loud “boom” reported from NoMa at 11:36pm

From MPD:

“On Friday May 29, 2020, at approximately 2130 hours, Fourth District units responded to the 3700 block of Georgia AVE NW, in reference to a call for Sounds of Gunshots. While canvassing the area, they located 1 adult victim, with injuries to the head. The victim was conscious and breathing, suffering from non-life threatening injuries, and was transported to an area hospital for treatment. The only lookout we have at this time, is for several juvenile males.

Anyone with any information is encouraged to call MPD on 202-727-9099 or send a text to 50411.”

One reader reported: “Woman in car was shot through windscreen in face (by crossfire?) and drove around the corner to that park to call for help (my friend called 911 for them). Miraculously conscious. She witnessed multiple shooters”

and

“Last night at approximately 10:38 pm in the 400 block of 2nd St NW, a shooting occurred with non life threatening injuries. Approximately three to four black males suspects, with short dreadlocks and wearing blue jeans, approached a vehicle with occupants who were stopped and congregating with them and then shot at the vehicle. The occupant in the front passenger seat was shot and another male on foot was shot as well. On scene a pistol was recovered inside of the vehicle, and one individual was arrested for Carrying a Pistol without a License.

Additionally, at approximately 11:04 pm, four black female suspects walked up to a victim sitting on a bench in the 100 block of N St SE and sprayed him with mace and stabbed him once in the back. Four suspects were arrested on the scene. Injury to victim is non life threatening.”

And to top it off – reports of a very loud boom heard all over the place but mostly NoMa, Truxton, Bloomingdale, H Street, NE and parts of a capitol hill.

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!
