A reader reports:
“Gunshots in Columbia Heights and now the street/alley is swarming with cops… Anyone else hear them Girard NW between 13th and 14th?
Just two quick shots around 11:30pm, and then the street/nearby alley/lot next to us was swarming with cops and flashlights within minutes.”
Per earlier shots fired posts, we’re not getting many official reports recently so if you happen to hear them please email [email protected] or contact us @PoPville so we can keep a record. Thanks.
