I heard the shots too.....and saw police cars as well as the area taped off about 8pm. It was on 8th and Crittenden. Don't know any more details yet.

Yoyo--

Yes, there were shots fired around that time on the 800 block of Crittenden, NW. We just left the scene and an officer there informed us that while there was some property damage, no one was injured. The MPD is increasing patrols in the area. This is pretty much all we know at the moment, but CP's Ted Scheinman is about to post a full report in just a few minutes.

I heard a barrage of shots tonight (Sunday, Nov 9) at 7:30 pm. 25-30 shots coming from the area of 8th and Decatur or 8th and Crittenden. Please post info as you learn it. What is going on in Petworth?!

In Spring Valley yesterday we had four cops show up to harass a black guy who was going through a bunch of junk some students had set out as trash at the curb as they moved out of the house next to my girlfriend's. Four cops.
The Metropolitan PD is a pitiful group, & the city council is a joke. Once we have four cops respond to minor incidents in SE, NE, the Georgia Ave corridor, etc., well, then we'll have a bit more equality.
