“it was dozens of shots fired around 5:30 when lots of families were outside on porches”

You can hear all the shots fired here. It is awful. Remember this was Saturday at 5:24pm.

From MPD:

“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred on Saturday, May 18, 2019, in the 100 block of T Street, Northeast.

At approximately 5:24 pm, members of the Fifth District responded to the listed location for the report of the sounds of gunshots. Upon arrival, members located an unconscious adult male victim, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported the victim to an area hospital. After all life-saving efforts failed, the victim was pronounced dead. A second adult male victim was located suffering from a gunshot wound. The second victim was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. (more…)

“On 5/16/2019, at approximately 12:35 AM, an officer from the Fifth District was flagged down by a complainant reporting that they had just been carjacked. After interviewing the complainant, the officers learned that the complainant was parked in the 300 block of S Street, NE, when he was approached by five suspects. One of the suspects produced what the complainant believed to be a handgun, and ordered the complainant out of the car. The complainant then exited the vehicle and began to run away. (more…)

A reader reports:

“Not sure if anyone has reported this yet but there were 5-6 gunshots in the first block (0-100) of Q street NE last night just after 11 pm. Right after the shots you could hear tires screeching. A lot of neighbors came out and at least 3 cop cars and cops on bicycles were on the street within a few minutes talking to neighbors. Luckily it seemed like no one was injured.”

Per earlier shots fired posts, we’re not getting many official reports recently so if you happen to hear them please email [email protected] or contact us @PoPville so we can keep a record. Thanks.

Ed. Note: There was also a shooting on Monday afternoon in the 1600 block of Lincoln Road NE.

At approximately 8:53 pm, the suspect fired a handgun, towards the victim, at the listed location. The suspect then fled the scene. There were no reported injuries during this offense. (more…)

A reader reports just after 4pm:

“there was just a shooting in Eckington on Eckington Place, north of FedEx and just south of Qualia Coffee. A guy was shooting from the northwest corner of Eckington Pl and Q St NE and I saw a kid go down and stay down. Probably 6 or 7 shots. Obviously traffic around Dave Thomas Circle is a no-go.”

MPD reported:

“Alert: Shooting, 1551 hours, 1500 blk Eckington Pl NE, Lookout for a B/M, 5’11, black sweat shirt, grey sweat pants, black shoes L/S W/B on Harry Thomas Way NE”
