Unfortunate update from Alan Henney:
“update: Regarding the procession on North Capitol St w/ Falcon, source says another MPD Sgt. died this morning. She was found in her police car unconscious at 3D and was rushed to Wash Hospital Center where she was pronounced. Unsure of cause of death. That’s 2 Sgts in 2 days.”
Update from MPD:
“It is with heavy hearts that the Metropolitan Police Department announces that 49 year-old Sergeant Donna Allen, most recently assigned to Third District Patrol, passed away earlier this morning following a medical emergency after having worked her midnight tour of duty. At this time it does not appear her tragic passing was COVID-19 related but further medical tests are being conducted. Sergeant Allen had over 30 years of service with the Metropolitan Police Department.
Sergeant Allen’s unexpected passing brings the MPD family great sadness,” says Chief of Police Peter Newsham, “Her friendship and good nature will be missed by many. I offer my deepest, most heartfelt condolences to Sergeant Allen’s family and friends at this time.”
Sergeant Allen is survived by her mother and five siblings.”

“Putting the pandemic aside, as long as these folks aren’t harming others or damaging property, I wouldn’t mind this sort of thing if all these vehicles were electric. But the noise and the pollution (I assume many are 2-cycle) are definitely a nuisance in their current form.” Read More

From MPD 7:10pm Tuesday night: “ALERT: Shooting investigation at the intersection of Queen St and Trinidad Ave NE.”
Jason reports: “Saw this out on my walk with the pup this morning. Scarlet Oak in Navy Yard. Looks like someone wanted the booze on the other side of the glass. Hard to see from the pics but the bar is on the other side of the window and the alcohol is lined on the shelves. Also tough to see, but there’s another layer of glass behind the first and it looks much tougher as the person apparently couldn’t get through that one.”
