“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…)

VJ first reported at 9pm: “just heard about 10 rounds of gun fire in Shaw?”
Many others confirmed hearing the shots and Will captured the scene above noting a man was placed into custody. Since I didn’t see any official MPD reports apparently, fortunately, nobody was hit by the gunfire.
Earlier around 8:10pm MPD reported: “Alert: MPD is on the scene of a confirmed Shooting in the 3900 Block of Clay Pl NE. No Lookout Information.”
In Petworth just near Sherman Circle, MPD reports:
