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,
I ran into the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen around 8:45 this morning (Monday) outside Elle in Mt Pleasant. She had wavy blonde hair and bangs and was carrying a dark-colored bike helmet. We chatted very briefly but I didn’t get her #. Can you help me with this missed connection?”
