“@PoPville woke up with a start at 1am to what sounded like ton of gunfire. 9th & crittenden NW. Now 3 cop cars on block looking around…”
MPD reported:
“On June 24, 2016, at approximately 1:30 am Fourth District officers were canvassing in reference to sounds of gunshots in the area [900 Block Allison Street Northwest]. Suspect was spotted in the block, and attempted to flee. Officers were able to apprehend suspect. Once, apprehended officers recovered a handgun from suspect. Suspect was arrested for Carrying Pistol Without License.”
“Dear PoPville,
Tuesday night at least 4 bikes were stolen out of a locked bike storage inside our “secure” garage. The bike storage area requires an electronic resident key to enter (as does the garage and elevator), so the thief either lives in our building or was working with another resident. They also used a pretty heavy duty tool because all the u-locks on the ground had a smooth cut. Police and building management are involved now.
I live at Jefferson Marketplace in Shaw – apparently this happened two nights in a row, so wanted to warn other people in the neighborhood and see if anyone has seen my bike. It is a white Specialized Dolce Sport with black Shimano commuter pedals. It also has a red and white Jefferson Marketplace sticker and a Spokes Etc. sticker on the frame.
If anyone comes across it they can email me at kristenburke8(at)gmail.com.”
Thanks to Edward for passing on from MPD:
“While on patrol in the 600 block of Edgewood St NE, offices made conduct with several subjects. Upon further investigation, officers recovered a TEC9 with a high capacity magazine, a Glock40 with a high capacity magazine and resulted in three arrests. Great work by the officers of the Fifth District!”
Keep a lookout Capitol Hill/H Street/Trinidad/Kingman Park/Hill East. Thanks!
“Dear PoPville,
Last night at 12:20 I had a bicycle stolen. Happened to be coming home during the theft. I drove past my alley and noticed a guy riding a bicycle while “ghost riding” another bike. I thought this was odd so after parking my car decided to enter the house through the alley to ensure everything was ok (at this point I figured he was dumping a stolen bike to come back to or something along those lines). As I get out the car I see him head down 7th st NE towards H st NE, I was a block & half away so I wasn’t able to see the bike frame clearly or anything. Once I get into the alley I notice there was a beater bike dumped, my garage was open & bike gone. Police were called, report was filed and then canvassed the area but I am honestly not expecting a whole lot. It is a very unique bike and I know there are no other identical bikes in the city.
I am training for my first triathlon this summer and this was both my training and race bike.
I’d say the biggest identifying factors is that it’s a DC racing frame (NCVC) and it has a very unique red & black fizik saddle
Should be easily spotted on the street. Efenwick301(at)yahoo.com ”

“Dear PoPville,
Around 9am this morning someone smashed my front passenger window on 7th St NW between Randolph and New Hampshire and grabbed a backpack off the front seat. I was only away from the car for about 1 minute so I think the person was on a skateboard or maybe a bicycle? Or a fast runner Bc I saw no one when I came back out.
Several key items were in the bag that I desperately need to have found:
MacBook Pro 13″ retina laptop, Serial number: C02NG69WG3QJ
2 external hard drives (desperate to find these drives)
2 mifi units
Passport
Insurance card
The backpack looks like the attached photo, with a White House patch on it, and one of the drives is labeled like the second photo only it says “2016” instead of 2015. Third photo is similar to the second drive that was in the bag only that one is labeled as “Ghana 2015 A” I believe. It’s a 1 terabyte seagate.
Fourth photo has a strip identifying the drives with my email and phone number. I’m not sure if the two drives that were stolen had that on it or not.
I sorely need the drives back, they are my backups which I normally store inside safely. They have files of photographs that don’t exist anywhere else from my job as a photojournalist for the Associated Press and personal photo files as well. If anyone finds them, in whatever condition, please contact me. No questions asked.
Inside is also a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) with a purple cover. There is a round sticker that says “AP” on the front along with Velcro strips.
There are Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz stickers from when I covered their campaigns on the back.
I also had two mifi units to connect to the Internet in the bag, and a passport of me valid for four years, along with some cash and a discover card (which I’ve canceled)
It was only in the car for less than a minute in broad daylight. I’ve done a police report but need your help to get back my files, please help!

Ed. Note: There had been a string of recent burglaries in Adams Morgan/Lanier Heights recently.
From MPD:
“At approximately 12:45 today [Monday], members of the Third District responded to the 1900 block of Calvert Street NW in reference to a reported burglary. A witness provided the officers a lookout for 2 subjects that were seen exiting a residence. After canvassing the area, 2 subjects were located and detained pending investigation. During this time, a second call was received for another burglary in the 1800 block of Calvert Street NW. Through the investigation it was determined that the subjects stopped were in possession of property that had been stolen from the second location. 2 Adult males were placed under arrest for Burglary in the Second Degree.
Third District detectives are working on this case to determine if these subjects are responsible for any of the recent burglaries that have been committed in the PSA 303 area. This arrest would not have been possible without the assistance of the alert witness and the quick response of the officers.”
A reader reports:
“Four or five gunshots heard at 14th and Harvard. Cops all over — avoid the area.
Very close to last week’s two shootings in one day on the 2900 block of 14th street.”
