According to the D.C. Police Department, there is a possible gunman inside Spingarn Senior High School. The school is on lockdown at this time. WaPo reports that police are setting up a command post.
We just called the school. This sounds like a false alarm. We asked the secretary who answered phone about the possible shooter [...]
Today is Elgin Baylor Day in Washington!
But not this Washington. Greg Nickels, the mayor of Seattle, Wash., has officially dedicated today to Baylor.

Yesterday, rumors broke that the team was going to boot Rizzo and hire the Diamondbacks' Jerry DiPoto. Nats fan boards lit up with pleas for management [...]
Via DCSportsFan.com: Spingarn football coach Paris Adon won't be back next season.
I've been following that school's football woes for several years. There is probably a coaching job somewhere as bad as Spingarn's. But not worse. Can't be.
