A spokes person from the Metropolitan Police Department advised that two D.C. government officials, who remain unnamed at the time of the report, were
victims of a shooting that happened on Monday night along Eaton Road SE around 7:30 p.m. Both victims were conscious and breathing when police arrived on the scene. EMS later transported 1 man and 1 woman to a local hospital. Further details will be posted as soon as we get an update from MPD.

“911” … Is it a joke in this town?
Commentary by: Jillian A. Cohen | ja_cohen@theconcernedcitizen.net
We’ve featured several reports over the years calling for real change, both
internally and externally, at DC’s 911 center. Citizens of the District have seen a host of Directors paraded through the communications division since it was taken from under the control of the Police (MPD) and Fire (DCFD) chiefs respectively and the Office of Unified Communications was established. Which, in my estimation, was the worst decision ever made by a Mayor. Its seems as though money was the motive instead of citizen concern and our citizens have suffered ever since.
Unless the aforementioned decision is reversed and the chiefs are restored to full control or the new Director initiates serious and immediate change, I fear that 911 will continue to be a JOKE in DC and our citizens will continue suffer and die, which is not a joke at all.
