“DC’s faith-based organizations are at the very heart of our community, giving us hope in the face of darkness. They embody our DC values of love and inclusivity. An attack on them is an attack on all of us. This weekend, we saw forces of hate seeking to use destruction and intimidation to tear us apart. We will not let that happen, and continue to stand together strong and United to Love. The Mayor’s Office of Religious Affairs and the Metropolitan Police Department are engaging the impacted houses of worship today, and anyone with information or video in the area of the houses of worship should call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.”

A reader reports:
“There were gunshots this morning in the alleyway near 9th and Emerson Streets NW at around 11:30am. The shots were fired from a gray SUV that was moving through the alleyway. It was three shots fired in rapid succession, and my guess is that they came from an automatic rifle. MPD is on the scene now.
