Around 10:20pm in Adams Morgan a reader asked: “Does anyone know what’s going on in #AdMo at the Line Hotel? This is the scene outside my apt, helicopters circling above and cops lined along Champlain St NW.”
And a few subsequent responses: “Police had a shooting suspect holed up in the apartment building next to the Line. Unclear where the shooting happened or how it resolved though.”
And as of 10am Sunday morning: “Follow up – cops are still there waiting for a judge to sign a warrant. The shooting did happen in the building.”
“Follow up to the follow up – they got a warrant and SWAT pulled him out”
