Scene of accident at 8th and Jefferson Street, NW
Neighbors report that a death occurred from a resident lighting off fireworks on Friday night around 10:30/11pm in Brightwood Park. Some details and other photos I received were pretty graphic so I won’t be sharing them. I haven’t seen any police/fire reports but will update if any info is released.

Woke up to a lot of queries about a huge police response on Georgia Ave starting just after 2am:
“did anyone just hear/see the 2 helicopters and dozens of police cars that just sped down Georgia Ave?”
“Saw about 20 cop cars heading from Silver Spring towards DC. Looks like a helicopter was in tow. Anybody know why?” (more…)
Thanks to Terry for sending from Brightwood Park. Given the way some folks have been driving lately, you gotta respect the tropism.
Thanks to all who messaged us: “Officer tells me someone was shot in the leg.”
“Shooting at or outside residence on Kennedy and 13th, whole street blocked off. Young man, looked alert” (more…)
