Starting around 6:30/7am this morning I got a ton of inquiries asking about:

“HELICOPTERS AGAIN AT 13th AND SHEPHERD MORNING EDITION?!?!!”

“there’s a helicopter circling with a search light on 10th Street between Quincy and Spring and around the Raymond Rec Center”

“For the second time in 3 days. This time beginning at 6:30 am. Still going at 7:30”

“I can hear them repeatedly flying over at Sherman and Park. I’ve heard them pass over at least 10 times”

MPD tells me: “it was US Park Police who was in the area executing a search warrant.”


From MPD Monday:

“Earlier today members of the 5th District responded to several calls for sounds of gunshots in the Unit Block of R St NE. Officers recovered 5 cartridges casings during a canvass of the area. No victims or damaged property were located. Anyone with any information regarding this matter are urged to contact MPD at 202-727-9099 or via text at 50411.”

I got a lot of queries about MPD action in Columbia Heights last night:

From Alert DC:

“Stabbing at 1843 hrs in the 3000 block of 14th Street, NW. No lookout.”


Thanks to Sean for sending over the weekend: “Do any readers know anything about this?”


1426 Park Road, NW
