via google maps

A reader reported around 12:45am shots fired near North Capitol and Seaton Place, NW. “I didn’t hear sirens or anything after (we called the cops, too) so who knows.”

Anyone else hear this?

Side Note: I missed a shooting report from MPD just before 9pm on Saturday night:

“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting in the 300 block of M Street NW. An adult male has sustained a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the lower extremities.”
