I love living in Alexandria, but someone's really dropping the ball.


I've gotten multiple emails. Check your spam filter maybe? Or which lists you are subscribed to?

Anyone know the significance of the FBI being involved? Does it mean there have been federal laws implicated here?

Never open the door when you're uncertain who it is.


And don't forget to reinforce this with everyone in your family and your nanny/Au pair. My AP had heard of the shooting, but didn't know the apparently random nature or about the November shooting, which I hadn't known about either.

I don't think so. But residents are definitely starting to feel a greater sense of danger.

I know the APD has a history of being conservatively private and not very transparent with the public, but I don't think they can continue those policies as the days go by.
