11th and Vermont Ave, NW
A reader reports: “shots fired around 11 PM last night at 11th and Vermont NW by Logan Circle. Woke up to 4-5 VERY loud, distinct shots, and not seconds later cops were swarming the area. Hard to tell in picture but cops were out with flashlights, seemed like they were looking at cars for bullet holes or casings.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My friend’s Ring video camera caught a man peeping into her windows and trying to record her with his cellphone last night around 11:45PM in the area of 17th and U Streets NW. Her upstairs neighbor told her last week that she saw a man in a green hat (same as the one in the photos) staring into her windows. The man left when her husband walked out onto their balcony. She set up the video camera after that. [See video here.] A police report has been filed.”
