“Dear PoP,
This Thursday night, around 10:15, I heard a round of, what sounded like gunshots, outside my apartment. Within minutes, Police and EMS were at the scene. Firstly, I want to commend the quick response of the Police – it was no more than five minutes before police were on the scene with guns drawn.
Finally, I was hoping you had any information on what happened. Despite all the emergency responders at the scene, I am not quite sure what happened.”
MPD confirms at 11:01pm Thurs. night:
“We are working a shooting at Clifton and University Place.”
Unfortunately I have seen no more details released.
“Dear PoP,
Last night [Wed.] around 3:30 am, I heard 5 gun shots followed by some screams on N St. NW between 7th and 6th streets. Shortly afterwards, approximately 10 cop cars, an ambulance, and a fire truck showed up on the scene. I haven’t seen anything about it today. Anyone know what happened?”
MPD writes:
“Early this morning [Thurs.] a 5th District Officer observed an individual shoot from a vehicle in the 2300 block of New York Ave, NE. The officer pursued the vehicle in to the 3rdDistrict, where the occupants bailed out of the vehicle in the area of 6th and M St, NW. After a short foot pursuit officers apprehended three suspects and recovered two firearms and ammunition.
At approximately 3:40 am an individual was in the 600 block of N St, NW when a dark colored vehicle pulled in the block and began shooting at him. The victim received non-life threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
If anyone has any information regarding this incident please contact MPD at 202 727-9099.”

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!
