Update from MPD:
“Agents from the Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Internal Affairs Bureau are investigating an officer involved shooting that occurred on Tuesday, August 31, 2021, in the 1400 block of V Street, Northwest.
At approximately 6:55 pm, uniformed patrol officers from the Third District were dispatched to the 1400 block of V Street, Northwest, for the report of a male subject armed with a gun. Officers were directed to an apartment where they made contact with the male subject. After the male subject emerged from within the apartment, officers engaged the male subject in conversation, attempting to deescalate the situation. The male subject re-entered the apartment and closed the door, before once again briefly emerging to verbally engage the officers, and again closing the door. The male subject emerged a third time from the apartment, brandishing an apparent rifle-style weapon. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On Sunday afternoon around 4PM, my partner and I were walking South on 14th near T street. Around the intersection, we both saw a woman walking in the middle of the sidewalk toward us, and both chose to go around her in opposite directions (this was a narrow part of the sidewalk right by the little outdoor pods outside Bresca). The woman bee-lined directly toward me while mumbling something inaudibly, and as I tried to avoid a head-on collision, she open palm punched me on the side of the head, with a bag in her hand, which pushed me against a big trashcan on the sidewalk.
