Congressional Intern shot and killed in DC

Awful. Just thinking about his family and how devastating this must feel. He was just starting out.

Years ago I lived at 9th and P, on the other side of the convention center, and that area was really dicy then. I am sad to hear it's still so bad. I had thought it would have improved by now.

Yes but they moved the residents back in.

Horrible. They really haven’t been able to make a dent in that neighborhood.

2) 7th and M is a notorious violent three block perimeter with many drug and gang related shootings.

I live in shaw and would never walk on 7th from K to RI any time after dark

Not excusing a terrible tragedy, just crappy reporting on such

People get fooled in DC by not knowing really bad areas are adjacent to commercial/gentrified areas. Like the Benning Rd Starburst is really close to places where the people probably have some vague idea that “Anacostia” or “over the river” is where the bad stuff happens. We recently had a bad experience at Rosedale Pool and I checked the crime maps and realized that basically every pool over the river is safer.

I think the original Sursum Corda was off North Cap, north of Union Station.

Yes. Someone else was shot near the Mt Vernon metro station.
