Matt first asked around 6:30pm: “big police and ambulance presence in Tivoli Park in Columbia Heights. Area taped off. Any word what happened? Everyone ok?”

Angelica replied around 7:30pm: “Stabbing in the plaza. Please avoid the area for now.”

Ed. Note: MPD made two arrests for stabbings nearby here on Sunday morning.



3115 14th Street, NW

Been getting a few messages about this over the last couple weeks. Most recently TJ reports:

“looks like they took down all the Choong Man branding from the windows. Dont know whats going on with the menu, if they still have chicken. I am fascinated by the constant concept overhauls over the last few years…”

Anyone know if they still have chicken? sushi?

STAY TUNED.

Last night was pretty crazy and to be honest a bit hard to follow. This is what we know for sure from MPD around 9pm:

“Shooting at 14th & Meridian Pl NW Lookout is for 3 b/m’s mid 20’s wearing all black clothing with hoodies. last seen running westbound across 14th Street NW.”

Josh reported: “4-5 gunshots”

Side note: One reader tells us, “Watched the fire truck and ambulance who were going to the scene be delayed for almost 5 minutes because a MD driver couldn’t back down Meridian Pl to get out of the way.”

Before that is where it gets confusing. (more…)
