“My friend texted me from inside Roosevelt HS (where he was working) 30 mins ago that the school was on lockdown because a shot was fired outside the school. Apparently now they are outside after police arrived. Anyone else know more info?”
Jonah reported that the lockdown had been lifted by 4pm.

“It’s a 2018 Seagrave Capitol Cab. The cab was designed specially for, and by the DCFD. It has a Cummins diesel big block with an Allison transmission. It carries 500 gallons of water and a 1500 gallons per minute Waterous pump.

From MPD:
“On September 7, 2018, at approximately 8:25 PM, several gunshots were fired at 3rd and Decatur (multiple shell casings recovered). One adult male, who we believe was being shot at, was shot in the foot. We are investigating if his wound was accidentally self-inflicted (We recovered a revolver on the scene). Anyone having any information with regards to this crime, please call 202-727-9099.”

Ed. Note: I think it’s just a shortcut to the construction site staging area on Piney Branch. Or is it something more nefarious?
“Dear PoPville,
Just moved to the bottom of the hill on 14th and Taylor. Been seeing TONS of men go in and out of the woods off of Piney Branch where Rock Creek, Taylor, Arkansas all converge.
Not sure what they’re doing, doesn’t ever seem sexual or violent. Hated to do this, but called the cops when I saw one (when he was solo) looking through my bathroom window from down below in the woods.
Just now, I saw three men coming out of the woods from the same spot in my back alley off of Shepard.
What is this? Drugs? Prostitution ring? Homelessness? Mental illness?”

Thanks to a reader for sending from the 400 block of Kennedy Street, NW. Anyone know who the artist is? Looks like there is a name on the Duke Ellington one but I can’t make it out.
