A reader reports:
“This incident happened Sunday night around 8:30pm. I was in the car with my boyfriend, stopped at the light on the corner of 13th and U St NW. All of a sudden we heard a crash and saw that my windshield had been smashed. At first I thought it was gunshots so we quickly drove away to compose ourselves. We realized this couldn’t have been a bullet so we parked and walked back to the scene and found this rock on the ground. (more…)
Jeni reports:
“This incident happened Sunday at 4.55pm in Shaw. We were walking down S street toward 7th street when a guy emerged from the alley, walking at an odd pace and kind of spaced out (I assumed from the heat) and we let him pass us since we had both dog and stroller so we’re taking up real estate. Just as he passed us two young men crossed the street, and one of them pulled out a gun with an augmented clip. By the time we processed what was happening, the other guy had stopped so was now just behind us leaving us between him and the gun. Thankfully they two guys didn’t care that we were there and walked straight up to him and held the gun to his head, so we ran around the corner while calling the police and warning others not to turn the corner.

Kevin shares this upsetting report from this Saturday:
“I just wanted to let you know I was brutally assaulted and robbed by 2 males in between Columbia and Harvard street on Sherman. They followed me from 7-11 and attacked me from behind. I was brutally beaten for 30-45 seconds and they got away with my wallet.
The law enforcement responded immediately and they have suspects being questioned.
I am OK, my thoughts are with our safety as a community.”

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you’ve heard anything about the assaults in Rock Creek rather flippantly described in Jack’s newsletter? I don’t see information anywhere. Thanks!”
