Thanks to all who passed on this awful coronaville massacre news (will close “for the foreseeable future on Halloween“) from the Washington CityPaper:
“Eric and Ian Hilton say they fought for six months to keep American Ice Company, The Brixton, Echo Park, El Rey, The Gibson, Marvin, and Players Club running through the COVID-19 pandemic, but ultimately couldn’t.”
Out of the seven which hurts the most?

A reader reports:
“Thought I would share some recent bicycle thefts I’ve witnessed over the past 2 weeks. Both instances occurred on N street nw (in front of Espita). First on 8/31 @ 5:03pm and the second on 9/9 at 9:07am. Both times they used an angle grider to cut locks. I have heard the angle grinder on other days, but didn’t think much of it, but I am sure the same was happening. Police were called on both occasions, but seems there is not much that can be done.
Just a warning to be aware if parking a bike in this area.”

My goodness, it’s been a minute since I walked by. Like the way it turned out? (more…)

A reader reported:
“I’m at 7th and O St. and heard about 5-7 shots shortly after 9:20pm. Several police cars, ambulances and a fire truck are responding on 7th and possibly N/M Streets but I can’t exactly see where. An ambulance that had arrived left the scene around 9:35.”
and “Uncertain what I heard just now but I think it was 10-15 shots in rapid succession between 4th & 5th on M/N St NW”
and this morning: “The victim was pronounced dead at the hospital. 7th and N ST NW”

Multiple readers have reported about this unsettling situation the last few days (and weeks.) You can follow @PoPville on twitter if interested in getting the real time reports. From Sunday night and Monday night:
“I was walking by N and 5th St NW and heard 20-25 gunshots/fireworks. Anyone else hear or see anything?”
“another round, in the exact same@ spot as last night at least 20 shots on the street. Sirens approaching, happened about 2 minutes ago. Any news??”
“Gunshots. Cops are on site now and chopper is circling. Second shooting at 5th & N this week – other was Thursday night”
ANC Rep Rachelle Nigro wrote on IG: “6E04! Update on the shots fired on the 400 block of N St. The detectives are still on the scene. Bullets went into homes across from the Cooperative and into cars. Again luckily no one was injured or killed.”
Another reader reports via email:
“The last two nights have seen drive-by shootings into a housing complex’s parking lot. Given how many shots were fired (maybe 18 tonight, more than (dozens?) last night, it’s a miracle that apparently no one was hurt – last night there was a Labor Day weekend barbecue taking place right next to the crime scene but people were able to scramble to safety (at least the ones who didn’t – according to my neighbors – run after the getaway car yelling at the perpetrators!)
