Georgetown’s new Sweetgreen is “all set for Friday, September 15th!”

Upon arrival, officers located a 13-year-old juvenile male victim who had been stabbed multiple times. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect, a 12-year-old juvenile female, has been identified. There was no arrest made at this time due to the suspect’s diplomatic status. Detectives will be consulting with the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia as well as the US State Department regarding potential criminal charges.”

A reader reports:

“There’s a company headquartered in my building, Trammell Crow. They’re redeveloping a hospital and the union doesn’t like them so the union paid these protesters to play musical instruments outside my building from at least 8:30am-12:30pm.”
