National Guard troops spotted at entrance (15th and Euclid St, NW) of Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park on Sunday afternoon.
“Dear PoPville,
There was a shooting – I swear 15+ shots – around 1:20pm right at the meridian hill/malcolm x park entrance on 16th and Euclid. Terrifying. I thought it was fireworks because there were SO many shots in a row.”
