By Prince Of Petworth

Daniel writes at 9:02am: “Anyone else hear gunshots at 4th and Delafield NW? If so, that’s a new record for an early morning shooting. :(

Oh yeah, definitely a guy shot on 4th St. Tons of police showed up. Sadness for this neighborhood.”

Julie writes: “4-6 gunshots followed by big police presence (ambulances too) on the corner of 4th and Decatur, 9AM Saturday. (The only thing that surprised me was how quickly police cars can go over speed humps without damage!)”

Alan Henney reports: “SHOOTING— 4th St and Delafield Pl NW-DC. Man with NLT gunshot wounds. Possible 2nd gunshot patient in area. Police looking for shooter who fled on NH Ave wearing all black.”

From AlertDC: “Shooting Investigation at 0900 hours at 4th and Delafield Street NW. Lookout for B/M, light complexion, wearing all black clothing. DO NOT TAKE ACTION CALL 911 W/ EVENT #I20210638570″

“Dear PoPville,

Anyone have ideas on how to get an abandoned car towed? Is Janeese Lewis George’s office good on moving these things along?

Since then, the 311 site isn’t showing any movement, and there aren’t any tickets on it. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I’m loving the fact that I now live right in the center of a craft district, so I wanted to do my small part in promoting these amazing businesses in the Manor Park/Brightwood neighborhoods. See the event details below. I hope they get a huge turn out, and I hope beer, cider, and spirit hopping in our neighborhood becomes a thing!” (more…)
