“Emergency Special Meeting” About the Recent Shaw Shootings Wednesday and Thursday

By Prince Of Petworth

From ANC Rep Alex Marriott:

“Many of you have reached out to ask about the recent shootings in the Shaw neighborhood and the steps MPD is taking to curb this violence. To respond to these questions, ANC 6E is holding an emergency special meeting at the Shaw (Watha T. Daniel) Library (1630 7th St., NW) on Wednesday (10/9) at 7:00 pm.

MPD Third District Commander Emerman will be in attendance, along with Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen, to respond to our questions.

If you cannot make Wednesday’s meeting, ANC 6E is partnering with the United House of Prayer to hold a second meeting on the recent violence at 1721 7th St., NW at 6:00pm on Thursday (10/10).

Please come to one or both of these meetings and voice your concerns!”

“Amazon inks deal for retail store in D.C.” at 14th and Riggs Road, NW.

Amazon will join Bluestone Lane coffee, Parachute Home bedding/towel company and a Sephora in The Liz.

Amazon Books opened their first brick and mortar in D.C. in Georgetown back in March 2018 though the Coffee Shop element closed last month. Updates as the 14th Street location gets closer to opening.

Steph with quite the sight on New York Ave earlier today: “Why are there military tanks in NW DC today?” Peter also said he saw “them pass on New York Ave maybe 45 minutes ago.” Fortunately Spooky O’Neil (which may or may not be her real name) responds that it’s just for the Army’s Annual Conference AUSA.

A reader reported around 10:45pm:
