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.”

“Dear PoPville,
Last night my wife and I heard what sounded like two cars hitting each other. Turns out it was a car swiping the side of a minivan. But when I went outside seconds later, I found a white sedan collide head-pn into the parked minivan and then drive off into the alley, followed by another car. I called the police and gave them a statement, and I suggested that it looked intentional. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday, our neighbors woke up to this graffiti on the property. Apparently it’s the 18th Street gang (according to another neighbor). We live in upper Petworth and wonder if anyone has seen anything similar? There is also graffiti from MS-13 at the other end of our alley. I should mention that we have contacted Brandon Todd and the neighbors have filed a police report.”
