What about the 4 year old kid?
If you have kids with you all the more reason not to argue with strangers. People who live in DC shouldn’t believe they are exempt from violence because they are white or own an expensive house in Logan Circle.
Victim blame much?
We don’t even know if the mother “argued.” She could have just asked the guy to move the scooter.
Why? Seriously why? If it was in her way he saw her and was being an assh#&#. If it wasn’t in her way why say anything at all. Just move it when he’s gone
Is there some rule book that I can read that can help me know how I can interact with people without getting shot?
Apparently there are all sorts of rules that I was not aware of that would make me a deserved victim of violent crime (and death) that only apply to living in DC but nowhere else.
Help me understand this please!
Is this a serious question? Yes, there are rules in a city, especially DC right now. They are MYOB and STFU. Don’t get into confrontations with strangers on the street. If you get mugged or carjacked, hand it over as calmly as possible.
PP, not everyone is built to cower and hide in fear like you. No, there is no rule that you can’t ask someone to move their scooter or else you risk death. Get real.
Ok, you do you. I bet this family wished they had MYOB.

So we are to allow the most violent among us to control and regulate us for fear that they will arbitrarily exact violence against us?
I’m sorry but I’m not going to live like a hostage to psychotic sociopaths every time I walk outside my house. I’m sad that you feel that you need to.

Does anyone have an update on the victims condition? This is so awful.

Innocent people got shot. The police need to catch the murderer. Everything else on this thread is noise that only amplifies the trauma.

No Op is just speaking the truth and there are many on this board who quietly agree and are moving with their tax dollars and feet. You are the pathetic personal for minimizing the impact something this devastating has on the mental state of residents of the city.

Take your tax dollars and join me away from the city. The council, the mayor, no one else will listen or do anything about the problems.

I could not be any more horrified at people like you using events like this to push an agenda. I could google and list a ton of disturbing crimes that have happened in Bethesda, Potomac, Falls Church or whatever suburb you fled to. Crime is not unique to a city. You are gross and I am actually glad you left our city.
Not np ... but, but BLM take every event and polarizes it to death! This poster is merely stating a fact, this city is in grave trouble and our Mayor is a joke, a complete joke. She should go have lunch with Brandon in Baltimore, they are two of the same cloth.

It was an electric dockless one. The witnesses were the other sibling and the woman's husband. (They've been named in the press already) The shooter is at large.

Yeah, OP is disgusting to use this tragedy to bash a place they don't even live in. I am glad they are gone, we don't need this kind of losers.
Not really. I think OP’s point is that nobody has to live like this. It’s not a “tragedy” like a hurricane. It’s a crime, which is increasing in DC.
Nobody needs a gun in this country.
But you have no problems withs criminals possessing them, just law abiding citizens.

How many homicides have occurred in the City of Falls Church over the last 30 years?
You pick a "city" with a population of 14k?
I didn't bring up Falls Church honey, I just responded. But if you want to play that game, we can do the last 30 years of homicides in FCC vs one year of homicides in DC... Or Maybe do ten years of homicides in Arlington vs one year in DC. Basic arithmetic is your friend, use it more often.
