@fox5dc
All DC residents are entitled to feel safe. The fact that the shooting outside Nats Park and the one tonight on a fancy part of 14th St are getting so much attention should wake us all up to what goes on daily in other neighborhoods. Hope there is a solution.

REMINDER: Please be nice to servers, bartenders, any biz asking you to wear a mask. They have nothing to do with the new rules and I’m sure don’t like enforcing them.
We’re here on scene. The chicken sandwich ad is right in the window. It came back Sunday and sources tell us a fight over someone cutting in line led to a stabbing death tonight in Oxon Hill MD.
Unless I missed it, can someone please ask
@MayorBowser
@ChiefNewsham
why some people arrested last night for violating curfew were also charged with wearing a mask, during a pandemic, when you are supposed to wear a mask?

This is William. He’s the first person I met on the ground in East Palestine last week. He called to check on me after my arrest, while he was forced from his home. Just a great guy! Starting next week, OH and federal health officials will stand up a clinic for those impacted.

DC hits back in the battle to keep Capital One Arena here, as plans reveal Virginia is making a play, offering $500 mil. Interesting also to note that the District recently said it didn’t have the money to expand SNAP benefits for needy families.
The modernization of the Capital One Arena will be an invaluable investment.
With unanimous support from the DC Council, this proposal represents our commitment to keeping the Washington Wizards and the Washington Capitals where they belong – in Washington, DC.
Confirmed to NewsNation: DOD & Boston FBI accidentally detained a hotel guest last night while conducting a training exercise FBI was assisting with. "...they were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual, not the intended role player."
NEW per police source: Suspect who broke into FOX 5/was shot by our security guard was known to police and FOX executives. Had made threats on law enforcement and FOX before. Unclear if those were directed at FOX 5 specifically. Shooting will likely be legally justified.

Feel bad admitting as a kid meeting Colin Powell, I didn't remember exactly what he said to me when I got to shake his hand. Mom reminded me. He told me I was going to be somebody one day. Gen. Powell, thanks for your words & for showing a boy who looked like you what's possible.

Just seconds before snapping this pic, this mom walked her toddler over with flowers in her hand to lay outside The Covenant School. I lost it and immediately began to cry. Still teary-eyed now. Babies should not be mourning other babies murdered at school.
Still thinking about how the first police statement on George Floyd's murder was headlined: “Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction.” Journalists and the public must always question authority.

Zoom should stay post pandemic for public meetings. Too many people forgo the process because they either don’t have reliable transportation or can’t make it because of work.
