“Dear PoPville,
Tonight, October 31st at around 8:30pm there was an armed robbery in the 1300 block of Columbia road. The heavy police presence in the vicinity peaked my interest, but something was clearly wrong when a black sedan carrying 4 passengers ran a red light at 11th and Harvard, almost t-boning me through the intersection at twice the speed limit. Police pursued this vehicle. 15 minutes later, I asked 4 officers what had happened. One hesitated to answer, then replied “not a shooting” and refused to say more. (more…)
JD reported around 11:30am:
“just saw about 8 kids chase a man through the street and jump him on 14th NW & Columbia around the 7-11. With all the people running, I thought it was another shooting. But then I noticed they were all laughing and smiling.
They caught up to him started kicking & punching him for a few secs then ran to the opposite corner and were just laughing about it. The guy got up and was able to walk away. No cops in sight, despite what seems to happen on that corner every god damn day. (more…)
A reader writes:
“To the bicyclist who got shoved by a driver at 11th and Florida NW this morning — I saw the whole thing and can provide a statement if you want to report it.
The bicyclist was heading south on 11th and merged over well before reaching the light so he could turn left on Florida. A driver in a light blue sedan, evidently fed up that the bicyclist was taking up the road, sped up behind him and started honking, even though they were approaching a red light at 11th and Florida.
As he waited at the light, the bicyclist turned around and said “what’s your problem? I’m turning left.” (more…)
Thanks to Andrea for sending. A miracle in the making for that bike stolen in Columbia Heights?

“Dear PoPville,
I found an engagement ring near the Columbia heights metro this morning around 9:15. I would love to get it back to its owner. If whoever is claiming it could send a picture or description of the ring to verify it belongs to them I’d like to return it.”
If you think it’s yours please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP. Thanks.
