From MPD:

“Just after 10:30 PM on December 12, 2015, MPD received multiple 911 calls for the sounds of gunshots in the vicinity of 9th & Ingraham Streets, NW. Officers responded to the location and located several cartridge casings in the block. A short time later, an adult male victim showed up at a local area hospital suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The victim stated that he was shot in the area where the casings were found. Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to call (202) 729-9099 or text 50411.”

From MPD:

“C-1 reports that on December 7, 2015, at approximately 1815 hours, he was walking home, heading westbound in the 4600 block of Iowa Ave NW. C-1 was approached by S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4, at which time S-1 punched C-1 with a closed fist on C-1’s left cheek. C-1 fell to the ground, at which time S-2, S-3, and S-4 began kicking and punching C-1. S-1 then stated “Yo, go through his pockets,” at which time S-2 attempted to reach into C-1’s pockets. C-1 was able to stand up and began defending himself by attempting to strike the listed suspects. S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4 then fled on foot, last seen heading eastbound in the 4600 block of Iowa Ave NW. Taken from C-1 was a Smartwalk winter hat. C-1 sustained pain to the left cheek and bleeding to the left knee. C-1 refused medical attention.”

“My partner and I lost our dog on 14th and Randolph St, NW.

He got off his leash last night (Dec. 4) around 10pm. His collar was then found at the corner of 13th and Allison st. NW around 11pm. He is a male, neutered, 25lb, beagle/jack russell mix. He has a white body with tan spots and a tan head. He’s very sweet but also skittish so people should not try to approach him but rather call 202-468-0466 or 917-673-1842.”

Ed. Note: Not to be confused with another beagle/jack russell mix missing from Eckington/Mount Pleasant who I’ve just been told has been found near the Zoo!
