MPD reported 9:18pm Wed. night: “Alert: Shooting investigation in the area of 3rd and F Street NW. Avoid the area. Details to come.”
NBC News reported:
“Two staff members of Israel’s embassy in Washington, D.C., were shot dead outside the district’s Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night, officials said.
The suspect shouted “Free, free Palestine” while in police custody and “implied” that he committed the shooting, Washington Police Chief Pamela Smith said. He was identified as Elias Rodriguez, in his early 30s, of Chicago.”
From the Embassy of Israel:
“Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives.
This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC. (more…)
A very lovable country indeed. This was nice to see from the Embassy of Denmark in the USA’s IG:
“Embassy staff arrived to find a “We ❤️ Denmark” sign placed in front of the gate, here in Washington, D.C. Most of us couldn’t help but stop, smile and take a picture. It was one of those small, unexpected gestures that instantly lifts your mood. (more…)

Update: “Embassy of the Netherlands. The Smurfs are Belgian and the Netherlands hosted their open house with Belgium and Luxembourg.”
Anyone check out the EU open houses Saturday?
“Dear PoPville,
Over the last month+ I’ve noticed an embassy at Connecticut and Kalorama has regularly engaged a security detail to stop right-of-way traffic on Kalorama allowing a stream of vehicles to exit their private parking garage all heading in separate directions, not a motorcade. Is this legal?”
Ed. Note: For those who know about other options for Turkey or Syria please leave info in comments.
Thanks to all who’ve written: “The Turkish Embassy on Mass Ave is accepting donations (clothes/over the counter meds) for the earthquake victims. I just dropped some off and it wasn’t busy, unfortunately. No signs up, just ring the buzzer and they will let you in.”
and “I read on the Turkish embassy IG page that they are collecting blankets, coats, formula, diapers, feminine products, etc for the earthquake victims and Turkish airlines is flying the goods overseas. The embassy address is 2525 Massachusetts Ave NW for anybody that can provide in kind donations!” (more…)
I get it’s an embassy property and all but can’t say I’ve seen this before. Maybe just get a taller fence if you’re that concerned? Pretty low double razor wire coils right on Tilden Street, NW on the way to Pierce Mill and Rock Creek Park: (more…)

I’m looking for a way to meet people (I work from home and am cautious about Covid) while still being outdoors. Do you know of any groups in the area that meet somewhat regularly (walking, hiking, etc.)?”
