“They’re filling up the pool, so that’s got to be a sign the end is not directly upon us?”

“Dear PoPville,
Would you or a reader know what happened last night around 2am at the 3800 block of 14th NW? at 3:30, it was over but there were multiple fire trucks and a horrible smell of burn that is still present in my flat several hours later…”

Thanks to all who helped us track this craziness in real time on our twitter.
Update from MPD:
“Good evening. At approximately 3:50pm, officers from the Third District were on patrol in the area of 13th and Columbia Rd NW when they heard the sounds of gunshots. The officers observed a moped exit the area at a high rate of speed and attempted to stop the operator to investigate. The vehicle fled from the officers who pursued it with the assistance of our Air Support Unit. Ultimately, the moped was stopped in the area of 3rd and F Streets NE where the operator was apprehended. Fortunately, there were no accidents or injuries as a result of this pursuit. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A friend sent me this pic of what looks like a strike? (No social distancing for sure) in front of Park Monroe on 16th NW and Monroe. Does anyone know. Perhaps dc rent strike?”

“Dear PoPville,
I was hoping to order delivery from Pho Viet (on 14th street). They don’t do delivery themselves. A few years back I was able to order through Postmates but can’t find them on there anymore. Usually I order and pick up but I’m too far to walk and will not be taking public transport/ride shares/etc. (more…)
From MPD:
“At approximately 1:30pm, an MPD detective in the area of 14th and Irving street observed 2 individuals exit a vehicle and begin firing handguns. At this time, we have not located any shooting victims or individuals alleging to have been shot at. (more…)
Thanks to Frank for sending from Columbia Heights:
“not sure if anyone has noticed but up here in Columbia Heights the police have moved to in front of the middle school rather than congregating inside the precinct.”
Related: A few other folks have asked, “Over the last three days, I have seen individual cop cars with their lights flashing posted at different intersections between Shaw and Logan Circle. I know this happens sometimes but when I take my dog back out three hours later I see the same cop cars with their lights flashing at separate intersections. Any idea what’s up with that?”
