Pellet removed from victims back
Dear PoPville,
On Sunday, June 17th, around 11:30 p.m. my roommate was shot with a pellet gun. The pellet pierced and lodged into his back. He’s fine and the wound is healing. This incident occurred while he was walking north bound on Sherman Avenue NW between Girard and Harvard Streets on the west side (the same side as the gas station). After notifying the Third District Police Department, it appears another shooting with a pellet gun may have occurred in the same vicinity around 12:30 a.m.
We called 911 after the incident with my roommate. The operator asked if an EMT was needed. We said no; however, the operator said officers would be sent to the area. We watched for a patrol car from several blocks away but never saw one after waiting 15 minutes or so.
Ed. Note: In July 2011 we learned of a cyclist hit by a bb gun on the 2300 block of 11th St, NW.

Back in Jan. 2012 I asked if Fish in the Hood’s iconic glass window was in jeopardy after a shooting cracked the window. Looks like the name itself was in jeopardy. The Washington Post calls it Gentrification Spelled Out:
Even as upscale, high-rise condos went up around it and a string of hipster bars opened nearby, the beloved storefront restaurant Fish in the ’Hood remained an iconic institution on its gritty but evolving stretch of Georgia Avenue. Such was the pace of change that longtime customers often found themselves joking: Is this really still “the ’hood?”
Last week, Bill White, the restaurant’s owner, answered that question. He climbed a ladder and hung a new boardwalk-style neon sign that reads: Fish in the Neighborhood, with “neighbor” in bold.
Fortunately the Post adds: “Along with the new sign, White’s going to put in a new window and redo the fish.”
You can read Eric’s love of the restaurant and see what the sign used to look like here.
