A reader reported:
“Saturday night around 8:15pm I heard shouting outside my house then heard sirens and looked out to see an SUV stopped in front of my house with a man (the driver of the SUV) out of the car shouting on a phone. The police arrived immediately and pulled the passenger from the SUV. He was in bad shape with blood coming out of his mouth. The paramedics performed CPR and took him away quickly. The police detained, then arrested the driver as there was a warrant out for his arrest. The forensics team showed up and took a bunch of photos of the scene. I spoke with the detective afterward, who informed me that MPD was investigating a shooting farther up north on Georgia Avenue. The driver apparently was driving his wounded friend to the hospital when ‘things went south’ and he stopped responding. The driver called 911 from the SUV and stopped in front of my house to meet the paramedics. We don’t know what happened to the victim. It didn’t look good.”

From the Humane Rescue Alliance:
“The Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA) is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of those involved in a tragic case of alleged animal cruelty.
On Thursday, Feb. 28, a man brought a female dog to HRA’s New York Avenue location with severe head wounds apparently inflicted by an ax or a similar sharp instrument. The dog’s injuries were so severe that humane euthanasia was unavoidable. The dog, who appears to be an adult Bullmastiff (two years or older) and is estimated to be 80-100 pounds, was found in SE near the Southern Ave. Metro station. (more…)
