“Executive Assistant Chief Ashan Benedict provides an update to an off-duty MPD officer involved shooting that occurred 10/20/21 in the 1200 block of 28th St NW.”
From MPD:
“Agents from the Force Investigation Team of the Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Internal Affairs Bureau are investigating an MPD officer involved shooting that occurred on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, in the 1200 block of 28th Street, Northwest.
At approximately 12:17 am, an off-duty MPD officer observed two suspects, both brandishing firearms, while they were conducting an armed robbery at the listed location. The officer engaged the suspects and discharged his weapon, striking one of the suspects. The other suspect then discharged his weapon in the direction of the officer and both suspects then fled the scene. One suspect was later apprehended by responding officers with assistance from the United States Secret Service, Uniformed Division. Officers rendered first aid to the suspect until he was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The other suspect made good his escape.
The suspect’s firearm was recovered and can be seen in the photo below: (more…)

From a press release:
“Beuchert’s Saloon will re-open its doors for full-service dining on October 20, for the first time since March 2020.

All will be served in the warm, intimate saloon setting that neighbors have called a home-away-from-home over the restaurant’s nearly nine-year run. With the day-to-day operations of the kitchen under the care of chef de cuisine, Bart Hutchins, Beuchert’s will be open for dinner seven days a week with weekend brunch service rolling out in the following weeks.
