From MPD just before 9pm Friday Night:
“The Third District is investigating a shooting in the 200 block of V Street NW. An adult male has been transported to an area hospital with a non life threatening gunshot wound.
Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
This is just an absolutely terrifying report from some readers in Eckington: “11:02 pm was time of gunfire…
Bullet holes through about seven cars on the unit block of Seaton Place, NE. Bullets also hit the house across North Capitol on the NW side and bullets went through the door into their house. If you zoom on the house pic you’ll see two bullet holes above the door. Note that was ACROSS North Cap. Terrifying it went all the way across and through their house!”

Ed. Note: With our recent coverage focusing almost entirely on the protests I have been deficient in some posts that I would normally cover. I will continue to focus on the protests but include other posts as well. I especially did want to update what happened in Bloomingdale last Sunday because two people were sadly killed. One was 81-year-old Donald Malloy.
Full report from MPD:
“Detectives with the Metropolitan Police Department’s Major Crash Investigations Unit are investigating a traffic fatality involving a hit and run traffic crash with a double traffic fatality that occurred on Sunday, May 31, 2020, between the intersection of Bryant Street and North Capitol Street, Northeast.

Thanks to Janet for sending at 7pm: “Sunday crash on North Capitol. At Bryant ST. Two people injured. Small explosion and fire. Black SUV T-boned the grey Nissan with two passengers. Onlookers had fire extinguishers to put out the burning car. They also pulled the people out of the car before emergency personnel arrived.
According to a neighbor the perpetrator ran off and was shedding his clothes and shoes but disappeared running down Bryant St towards First Street NW.”
Another reader shares: “I’m on Bryant and heard from a neighbor that another very heroic neighbor of ours used his garden hose to put out the fire and preformed CPR on one of the passengers before the fire/ambulance got here.”

Thanks to Tim for sending this possum spotted around 6pm yesterday in Bloomingdale. Aren’t Possums nocturnal? Anyway, they used to freak the hell out of me until I learned they eat ticks and other pests. So, say hello to Mitchell and let him do his work in peace. (more…)
