“Agents from the Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Internal Affairs Bureau are investigating an officer involved shooting that occurred on Friday, February 5, 2021, in the 200 block of Florida Avenue, Northwest.
At approximately 2:27 am, uniformed patrol officers from the Third District responded to the area of 2nd Street and Rhode Island Avenue, NW for the report of an assault. Upon arrival, officers learned that the victim was assaulted, pistol-whipped, and robbed at gunpoint.
A short time later, officers encountered the armed suspect in the 200 block of Florida Avenue NW. After the suspect refused to follow numerous commands, two officers discharged their firearms, striking the suspect. Officers rendered first aid until the arrival of DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services. The suspect was transported to an area hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
The suspect’s firearm was recovered and is pictured below:
On Friday, February 5, 2021, 58 year-old Antonio Garnes, of Northwest, DC, was arrested and charged with Armed Robbery (Gun), Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Gun) and Possession of a BB Gun.

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!
