I thought crime was down? Like at historic lows?

It was but now under TrUmp crime has taken off.

from the local listserv...so it was thieves cruising the neighborhood to steal from cars, a crime the DC Police Department and DC Attorney do not care about..and then people get shot

"Hi everyone
This is what I know from first accounts:

1. At approximately 3 am a ring cam showed three people trying unsuccessfully to break into a car parked at a house on CBR across from Battery Kemble park. The ring cam photo has been provided to police
2. The trio that was followed by a gray or silver car went a few houses uphill on the street - apparently deciding or having decided to break into another car(s) and home on CBR in which the family was home. (Whether or not the burglars knew that they family was home is unknown to me)
3. A private security guard stationed in front of the newly purchased and quite expensive home at 3030 CBR saw the three going towards the neighbor’s house and confronted them. I believe he did so by asking something along the lines of “can I help you.” One or more of the three burglars fired on him, and he fired back.
4. The security agent was released from the hospital but sustained at least an injury to his face.
5. The family in the targeted house are physically unharmed.
6. As far as we know, the three armed burglars and whomever was driving the car are still at large.
7. In my opinion, we should all check our security and ring cam systems to see if we can provide additional images.
8. Personally, we upgraded our already relatively intense security system today, and like our neighbors, we are redoubling use of our alarm systems. We will personally be using them day and night for the foreseeable future.

This story is nuts, reminds me of crime in LA.

The two teens that beat up the Big Balls DOGE kid weren't even from DC, they were from Hyattsville.

He sends extra police and national guard to mill around in DC and all the crime's going to be in the burbs around DC.

And when this ends after 30 days the crime will go right back to what it was before.

This is all a band-aid, Trump and the GOP aren't dealing with the underlying problems which are driving crime in the first place. A very EXPENSIVE and very temporary band-aid.

Like the breakdown of the family?

Yes.

“He had not been shot.”

No, in fact it says the opposite to me, targeted hit of rich persons property. Probably disaffected employee, organized crime, or someone with a personal grudge against the security staff member.

If I lived even right next door I wouldn't be concerned.

We have a house nearby and I can’t think of one family that has security. There’s a reason they felt like they needed it, and it has nothing to do with DC

I live nearby too and many have security. What are you talking about?

Private security at a private residence. Not common at all in the neighborhood.

They really do not. I’ve lived nearby since the 80s and know practically every house. There are a few diplomats with security snd occasionally there will be an administration appointee with secret service and in the late 80s there was a neighborhood watch type setup, but that’s it.

This is clearly someone with enemies, and he's bringing his problems to DC.

Given that it’s Chain Bridge they might not even be American. Thats Saudi/rich foreign oligarch territory.

Including people like Andrea Mitchell.

This makes more sense - construction sites are a magnet for thieves who want to steal tools, copper wiring, electronics, etc.

I bet they were junkies.

3 juveniles??

How do they know the age of the suspects if they haven't caught them and don't know who they are?

The WUSA9 article this morning said "3 minors," but the most recent article on their site says "3 people."

Last I checked, minors were indeed people.
