Last night, at approximately 7 pm, police were called to the 1400 block of V street following gun shots. They observed the suspect and pursued him on foot. They caught him trying to dump the gun and arrested him, recovering the gun. I walked by here maybe 30 minutes earlier, and saw a ton of police at 14th and W, wondering what happened. I don’t know if these incidents are related, but I’m really sick of reading about stuff like this going down: maybe it’s my other gig making me more aware. But it seems like in the past few weeks there has been a lot of disheartening news.
