Ed. Note: It sounds like it could be related to the 3:45pm shooting near the Petworth metro yesterday afternoon.
“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what was happened on the red line yesterday? I was on a north-bound red line train around 4:15 in the afternoon, and when we got to Fort Totten, the police held the train after departing passengers got off (though those of us who were continuing north remained on the train). Officers (with guns unholstered) stood at every open door and did not allow anyone to enter the train (but also didn’t direct those of us on the train to get off). Then a group of police (with guns drawn, shields up, and “SWAT” emblazoned on uniforms) moved from car to car doing what appeared to be a sweep.
Nothing was communicated to passengers on the train either by the police or by the metro driver. Eventually someone must have given an all clear because new passengers were allowed on and the train proceeded as normal. Was it a training exercise? I couldn’t find any mention of it, and it was upsetting to have so many officers storm through the metro car with guns drawn.”

Washington City Paper is hosting its annual Best of D.C. contest — and Well-Paid Maids is eyeing the Best Maid Service category.
If you missed it: Well-Paid Maids has secured first place for the past three years. Can you help us snag gold again?
Simply go to the ballot and write in your vote for the best maid service.
In case you need a refresher before you vote, Well-Paid Maids is the only certified living-wage cleaning company in the D.C. area. We pay our cleaners, who are W-2 employees, at least $24 an hour and offer benefits like insurance, 24 paid days off per year and more.
We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
