    I'm not surprised the victim's shoes weren't stolen. :eek:

    A friend used to live in that red building with the turret directly behind the woman lol.

    I'm still amazed that this happened for 5 minutes and no one noticed anything. That area is heavily trafficked by both vehicles and pedestrians and police.

    I prefer 2 gun matches but looks like I'm going to have to do 3 gun now!

    Seriously. I sure hope that DC Magazine Capacity Limit case gets resolved soon. 10 rounds (11 if you have one chambered) is pushing it close on three assailants.

    Which do you think you'd be faster at:

    Pulling a backup firearm or reloading your primary?

    It depends on your BUG carry mode , and your abilities with off hand, could potentially go either way .

    ( Not that I'm defending the DC Laws , just addressing a shooting question .)

    Fatal shootings in D.C.’s Shaw area recall neighborhood’s violent past


    Firefighters hosing blood off the sidewalk.

    Congratulations.

    Nigro, the ANC chairwoman, said she routinely asks for more police officers, particularly on the blocks around the Kennedy Recreation Center. “Seeing police, having that on-the-street presence, speaks volumes for the constituents,” she said. “Would that have changed anything early Sunday morning? I don’t know.”

    Gee, I don't know....

    A security guard opened fire during a flash mob-style robbery at a Chanel store in the District on Sunday.

    Police responded to the store at CityCenterDC on I Street NW at around 5:30 p.m., after receiving a call about a robbery involving multiple suspects.

    Two suspects were at the door while four others took items from inside, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).


    ......

    As the suspects were leaving, an armed security officer hired by the store fired a shot, authorities said.

    No hit.
    Update on this:


    Police on Wednesday arrested an 18-year-old D.C. high school student and charged him with taking part in the Dec. 17 blitzkrieg of the Chanel store at CityCenterDC, a luxury shopping area near the Penn Quarter neighborhood. Four other people are still being sought, police said.

    BFD, IMO. [Insert sarcasm emoji]

    Now DC will not have to bother upping the security; they've got a lock on the venue.
