We must call on Mary Cheh and anyone else who will listen to get a handle on this. This is just the latest incident of gun violence in NW; most rarely make even this small level of coverage. (Just last month, a woman exiting her car in Cleveland Park was robbed at gun point at 11:00 a.m. on a random Friday morning.)

We need MORE police and MORE funding and MORE prosecution of crime, not less.

I know this area is full of air-headed liberals who like to post signs in their yards and pretend that this kind of thing could never happen to them, because, you know, all people are basically good and simply misunderstood, but guess what. We all need to wake up. The city is out of control on crime and the leafy confines of Wesley Heights, Georgetown, AU Park, Cleveland Park, Spring Valley and beyond are next in line.

Please write to our esteemed Councilwoman and express your views. If you don't care about anything else, think about the property value of your $3 million home if gun violence becomes a regular thing in your neighborhood.

Oh my eyeroll. Please move out of DC if you want to live in a neighborhood with zero crime. So sick of transplants coming to the city, deriving long-term residents out of their neighborhoods, and then complaining about crime in the city.

I'm not a "transplant" to the city. I've lived here many years and am a homeowner in an upscale neighborhood. I did not drive a long-term resident of their neighborhood; believe me, we paid a pretty penny to live here and they were only to happy to sell.

When there are shootings in the streets of Cleveland Park, you'd damn well better believe I'm going to "complain" about crime in the city. In fact, I'm going to do a lot more than just "complain" on DCUM. This is a major issue and the good people who live in these neighborhoods and fund the entire city government had better wake up and smell the coffee.

+1. If you like to live next to shootings, by all means, you do you, PP. Some of us have higher standards for ourselves and our families.

The shooting was at the construction site. No students were there. Eaton students have been at a swing space on Van Ness Street on the UDC campus for two years while Eaton is being renovated.

The shooting sounds personal.

I’d be shocked if any construction workers knew the perpetrators.

Some kind of personal beef

I’m not so sure. Construction workers are up early/bed early kind of guys in the middle of the week. They generally don’t associate with low life unskilled thugs.

You're an idiot.

I mean if you weren't born in DC you are a transplant. And no, your neighborhood does not pay for the entire city budget with your taxes. What a ridiculous and self absorbed assertion.

And the eyeball part was your diatribe about one shooting meaning that you should write your councilperson lest your neighborhood becomes a crime-infested hellhole. What do you want the city to do to avoid something like this? Have cops at every corner? Make anyone not from your fancy neighborhood have to go through a metal detector to enter your street? Again, you live in a city, not a gated community.

I think I was clear in my first post. I want greater prosecution of crime, not less. I want more funding and more staffing and more training of police, not less.

It’s reasonable that when a violent crime occurs in a less expected place, the police should flood the zone to keep crime from taking hold on a more sustained basis. When you see rats show up when they haven’t been in your backyard before, you call the best pest control you can get, lest the rat problem become worse and intractable.

different note - what is the “school in a box” poster? lol NW parents are always extra. that said, you should keep a close eye on the design - our renovation ended up with some really bad features, like windowless classrooms and all-glass walls (zero privacy and hard to teach in).

I'm not the PP, born in DC and would like ZERO CRIME. Your attitude is disgusting.

You just forget to calculate that the no pursuit laws do not apply to the Park Police or the Secret Service or the Park Police helicopter which apparently followed the car across the city.

But the randomness of shooting into a construction site with three shooters is what is scary. Jump in or not. Random acts of violence are terrifying and only encourage the "we should all be armed" crowd.

it sounds like it was a targeting shooting. props to the park police and secret service in chasing the shooters to the ground. that kind of *immediate* response is the kind of thing that will repress lawlessness, much more than long prison sentences.

That kind of thing (pursuits) is banned for regular MPD in DC. Luckily we had park police / SS nearby. What if we hadn't? These guys would continue joyriding and shooting em up.

It's not banned for violent crimes like shootings, though if Charles Allen has his way it will be. And DCPS can join in pursuits if Park Police and Secret Service initiate them.

My understanding is that wokedom is protesting the hot pursuit that ended in a crash. They'd prefer unfettered crime obvi.

Charles Allen probably will say the shooters were just testing the integrity of the construction materials with their bullets and should be released.

Remember when he said carjacking were only committing violent felonies because they were cold?

The PP clearly said that if you cannot handle a shooting in your neighborhood every now and then, then you should move out of DC. I presume that means they want the crime.

I think you mean America. Any place there are Americans there will be shootings - there are shootings in the burbs too.
