“Dear PoPville,

A quick prop to the cops in the first district this weekend. My wife and I were home late on Saturday night and we heard a man and women yelling down in an alley. We’re fairly high up in a large building and the couple were obscured in shadows so we couldn’t see them, but we heard the woman screaming like she was in pain and saying “stop”, so we called 911. To our astonishment, it took less than a minute for the first cop to arrive. The police acted quickly and professionally and calmly diffused the situation.“

Received a large number of tweets last night about hearing 7-8 shots fired in Petworth.

Details from MPD:

“At approximately 1130 pm officers received a call for Sounds of Gunshots in the 400 block of Delafield Place, NW.

Officers quickly responded and observed a dark colored SUV making a U turn in the block.

An attempt was made to stop the vehicle and the vehicle fled through the rear alley of the 800 block of Crittenden St., NW.

Officers then observed the vehicle being parked in the 800 block of Decatur St, NW. Suspects exited the vehicle and ran through the alley.

A perimeter was established and K9 was called. A concerned resident was able to assist officers with narrowing their search to a smaller area.

Officers located both suspect hidding in a yard while police K9 dogs were able to locate a semi automatic hand gun believed to have been used by the suspects.

An examination of the vehicle the suspects were driving revealed a large quantity of Crack.

Great work as a result of the police and community partnership established in PSA 407!”

“Dear PoPville,

Just wanted to give a quick update on the peeping tom incident from last month. I saw the guy again last night and immediately called the cops. They came by, took a report, and within 30 minutes came by again to tell me they caught him.

So props to the cops and quick reminder that even if it feels silly to call something like this is in, in a city where there are drugs and homicides happening with such frequency, please still do. You don’t know what people’s intentions are and it lets cops know where they may need to increase their patrol.”
