Yesterday around 3pm readers reported to us: “We just heard a bunch of loud pops all in a row (maybe 15 mins ago), now there is a huge police presence on Mt. Pleasant just south of Kenyon. Any news?”
“I drove by, looked like a cop was picking up shell casings.”
“My sister spoke with the police. Sounds like shooting but no one was hurt or hit. They closed down Mt. Pleasant for a while.”
From MPD:
“On Thursday, June 25th, 2020, at approximately 1:00 am, Montgomery County Police were in the area of the 300 block of Rittenhouse ST NW, in reference to a stolen vehicle investigation. The officers located the vehicle that they were looking for, which was occupied at the time. One of the passengers in the vehicle leaned out of the car and fired several shots at the Montgomery County Officer. The officer was not struck, but his vehicle sustained damage from the gunfire.
We are currently looking for 2 suspects. The first male was wearing all black. The second male had on a white tank top and black pants with a white strip. They were last seen traveling from the area in black Nissan Altima with Maryland Temp tags.

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!
