Multiple readers reported a huge police presence including a helicopter in Columbia Heights/Mount Pleasant/Adams Morgan last night:
“We saw several police officers out with flashlights checking the dumpsters behind our place and a few helicopters with searchlights – any idea what’s going on? We asked the cop and he said it would be a good idea if we went home soon (right outside our place). 14th and Florida area…”
One reader wrote us on twitter: “I heard what sounded like a gunshot around 9:20 near 14th and Columbia”
Another reader reported:
“Shots fired 3100 block Mass around 1am near South African embassy, fire reported in same area shortly thereafter, Mass shut down by fire response”

“Dear PoPville,
his morning, before 7am, I woke up to the sound of about 15 measured explosions (?), though I’m not sure what they were. It sounded like fireworks or maybe construction equipment that is used when laying a building’s foundation (there’s a lot of construction around here). The sound was so powerful that it caused my house to vibrate. It continued to happen every 10 minutes or so, with the last sequence sounding much more like fireworks, with an uneven distribution. Does anyone know what the heck it was? Not sure if it’s connected to Ft. McNair?”
Eric replied to a similar query on twitter:
“Fort Myer. Almost certainly practicing artilary/cannon fire. It did have a different pacing today but that’s what it was.”
Thanks to Grant for sending from H Street, NE around 8:45am.
Update around 9:10am from Karin:
“Streetcar being towed slams into truck that is towing it. Not sure if damage is from this or another accident. Other side of the street impeded due to stopped school bus and ambulance. Not a good day for the Streetcar.” (more…)
