More Shots Fired Reported in Columbia Heights Last Night

A reader reports:

“There were 5-6 shots fired somewhere around Clifton and 13th or 14th Street around 11:15 pm this evening. Many people heard, and came to their windows and local security guards who patrol the housing nearby heard the shots came out to investigate before the police arrived but didn’t seem to find anything although they were looking for shells. I didn’t see anyone flee the area, but perhaps some other readers have more information. Just wanted to let people know these shootings are still happening around the area, especially in light of recent events.”

MPD does not always issue reports for shots fired, if no one or no property is hit, so often the only way to know is through your reports. If you happen to hear them please email [email protected] or contact us @PoPville so we can keep a record. Thanks.

YES!!!

“Dear PoPville,

A group of middle-aged men wearing purple shirts and a menorah of some sort (Israelites?), claiming to be a religious group, actually just yelling into microphone in front of the Columbia Heights metro about how bad all white people are. Among complaints that major grocery stores are being run by white people and that black people should starve instead of go.

Disheartening to hear when considering the tensions already present in the area.

Has anyone else heard of these guys or know what their agenda is/desired outcomes are?”

Ed. Note: The Black Hebrew Israelites have been “preaching”, off and on, outside the Columbia Heights metro since at least 2009. They are often also seen/heard outside the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro. In January they were involved in the controversy that feels like a million years ago. Suffice it to say they are looking for a reaction and it is a free speech issue.
