“Car chase ending at 4th & N, stolen vehicle – foot chase ended in a arrest” photo by Matt J.K.

From Council Members to regular folks – sadly, you just gotta stop doing this. More reports from MPD last night:

“This evening at approximately 6:30 pm, a victim left their car running in the 1000 block of First Street SE while picking up food. An unknown suspect entered their vehicle and fled in an unknown direction.

The First District has seen an elevated level of car thefts–many of which involve cars that are left running or keys that are left in cars. Please always be aware of your surroundings and ensure that you turn off and lock your car even if only getting out for a moment.”

and in the 100 Block of M Street SE:

“This afternoon at approximately 4:55 pm, a victim left their car running while getting out to use an ATM. An unknown suspect entered their vehicle and fled in an unknown direction.”

Readers reported: “Heard 5 quick gunshots and now there is one person on the ground holding himself. Police responded within about 120 seconds, corner of 3rd and I.”

“I’ve called 911 but shots were fired by 300 K ST NW @DCPoliceDept. I believe an ambulance is needed. Witnessing from my apartment window. Heard the shots.” (more…)

From an email:

“With indoor dining unavailable in DC for the next few weeks, we thought now would be a great time to highlight two perfect (locally owned!) outdoor dining options in the District. The Pub & The People (Bloomingdale) and its sister restaurant, Present Company Public House (Mount Vernon Triangle/Chinatown) offer spacious private fire pits and table top heaters on their open-air patios.
