Last night just after 9pm readers reported hearing up to 30+ gun shots fired:
“several different types of gun shots heard near Parkview Rec Ctr, anyone else hear ’em?”
A frustrated resident writes this morning:
“There was a shootout on the 600 block of Otis Place NW in Park View yesterday evening. Our neighbors heard what sounded like a semiautomatic weapon going off, moving up the street toward Bruce Monroe Elementary and the Rec Center. Police showed up and closed off Otis and Park Place to traffic while they searched for bullet casings. It’s a miracle no one was hurt.
It’s the second shooting outside the elementary school in the span of a couple of months. The last one in October took place in the middle of the day.
I feel insane because it feels like nobody wants to acknowledge that a major shooting incident happened here. (more…)
From Alert DC: “Alert: Shooting Investigation in the 3300 block of New Hampshire Ave NW.”
Readers reported just after 5pm: “There was just a shooting at the triangle park at New Hampshire & Sherman NW. Tons of MPD on scene, and I can see one person on the ground alive).
Roads closed SB right now at Sherman & Park, and cars coming EB on Park being diverted onto New Hampshire”
“Someone was just shot in the park at Sherman and Park. Park is blocked off at Sherman, south lane of Sherman at Park is blocked. Whole park is taped off as police look for shells/weapons”

“Dear PoPville,
I learned this morning that the extremely beloved, utterly singular neighborhood cafe Heat da Spot was attacked. See below. That our neighborhood is beset with crime is not news, but an attack on such a heartwarming, central community space like this is so craven and heartbreaking.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Liquor store parking has been updated apparently. Cop across the street didn’t seem to care, but they never seem to care about anything.”

Thanks to those who tagged us and messaged us Aurora Market‘s plea from IG:
“Posting mugshots of repeat offenders wasn’t in our plans when opening @auroramarketdc
As a recent United States Army retiree I made a decision to remove myself from government and politics. Today, I feel compelled to voice my frustration with the lack of support from our representative @brianneknadeau
Since we began developing @auroramarketdc on 2/1/2021 my wife and I have contacted @brianneknadeau office numerous times without any response: (more…)

Claire via GoFundMe
“Dear PoPville,
I’m emailing about the people involved in a headline from mid-January: 2 Woman Shot (reportedly “in their Uber”). I happened to know one of the two women, Claire, and I hoped you would consider posting her GoFundMe to help support her recovery. She is dealing with several injuries as a result of one bullet entering and exiting her body several times while she was riding in an Uber with a friend. As senseless as the violence in this city (and country) can be, I firmly believe in the DC community’s ability to uplift and support one another. It would be much appreciated if you could spread the word!”
Starting around 9:49pm: “some sort of explosion in Parkview or Petworth. Maybe gun shots but sounded louder. Anyone know anything?”
“anyone know what was up with that explosion / loud noise in park view?”
“There was a gun shot after but first one didn’t sound like a gun shot”
“Heard it too! On Quebec place. Saw a small flash too.” (more…)
