“was woken up by 5 gunshots near 13 and belmont NW around 3/4 AM. Anyone else?”

Update: Confirmed by Jennifer Bristol, Commissioner, ANC 1B06:

“MPD was able to confirm that there were reports of multiple gunshots at 13th St NW and Clifton St NW and there was property damage at 1307 Clifton St NW as a result of the gunshots. Because (luckily) no one was injured and there were no known suspects, a crime alert wasn’t sent out.”
