“Dear PoPville,
Saw “neighbor reports shoot-out on the 100 block of Bryant Street” on the Bloomingdale blog– from Nextdoor yesterday. Of particular concern is “Police told neighbors that crime scene investigators don’t show up to a crime scene unless there’s a victim,” though a neighbor found a shell casing.
Nothing like being gaslighted (gaslit?) by MPD.”
Ed. Note: The nextdoor report says that there was 5 shots fired from two cars (at each other) around 1:18pm. “Would it really require someone being shot to investigate?”
“Dear PoPville,
My backpack was stolen from my vehicle 11:00 pm September 4th on 5th and I Street, NW by prathers on the alley and Texas de Brazil. Khaki backpack with a black moleskine containing recipes and contacts and a black portable hard drive.
If found please email [email protected]
Thank you.”

“On September 3rd, at approximately 1:20 p.m., Officers from the First District responded to the 300 block of 13th St SE for a report of a robbery. Officers spoke with an adult female victim who stated that a male suspect ran by her as she was unloading groceries from her vehicle. As the suspect ran by, he pulled her purse from her shoulder and continued running. A witness observed the robbery and chased the suspect for a short distance. The suspect eventually dropped the victim’s property, but was able to flee the area. The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 16-18 years old, wearing a gray t-shirt and blue jeans. Fortunately, the victim was not injured during the incident and her property was returned.
