Readers tweet @PoPville just after 8pm:
“shots fired, I think, 7th and O/N about 15 mins ago…can you confirm? Police presence w/ crime scene tape”
“if they were shots, there were about 5/6 fired”
“Hearing there was another shooting in Shaw… any details? heard it was near a playground & kids had to run away”
From MPD:
“The Third District is investigating a shooting of an adult male that occurred earlier this morning [2:17am] inside of an apartment building in the 1200 block of M St NW.
The suspect who is known by the victim has been identified.”
Amazing renovation/new construction of the “gang of three building” in Shaw. You can see the liquor license for the street level space which will be home to The Dabney restaurant.
“The Dabney is a restaurant from chef Jeremiah Langhorne and business partner Alex Zink opening in Blagden Alley in 2015”

From a press release:
“The principals behind the award-winning Beau Thai restaurants of the Shaw and Mount Pleasant neighborhoods of Washington, DC, announced their plans to open a unique new Thai restaurant at 1700 New Jersey Avenue, NW. The new concept will be known as BKK Cookshop (BKK is the airport code for Bangkok) and will showcase international influences on Thai cooking.
Executive chef and owner Aschara Vigsittaboot has spent the past two years planning BKK’s menu. She has traveled to Thailand on several occasions to determine and refine the offerings. Among the dishes planned for the menu include house-made Chinese steamed buns, pomelo salad, grilled meatballs, Thai style chicken wings and several rice and noodle dishes. A handful of made-from-scratch sauces will be a stand-out accompaniment to meals at BKK. (more…)
