From MPD Sunday 5:30am:
“Earlier this morning, Third District officers were patrolling the area of 9th and U streets NW when they heard the sound of a single gunshot. Officers pursued a subject on foot, detaining him a short distance away. At the time of the stop, the subject was in possession of a firearm magazine loaded with ammunition, but no firearm.
A short while later, an adult male approached the officers with injuries consistent with graze wounds to the lower extremities. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment.

Ed. Note: Given the current state of Vision Zero, I say the more traffic lights the merrier.
“Dear PoPville,
I work around 14th and U and the amount of utility construction in the area is nuts. I’m not 100% positive what the end game is supposed to look like, but there are currently six different traffic lights on one corner of 14th and V. There are a lot of similar corners in the area, but this one in particular is egregious.”
