Related to the situation (hostage/shotgun) at 10th & Mass. Late Wednesday night I saw emergency vehicles & a helicopter headed southwest. I suspect they were headed towards the situation on Capitol Hill. Any confirmation ? Apparently the suspect also hit a bicyclist at at 6th & Florida (at up to 80 miles per hour). The bicyclist (has been taken to the hospital). This apparently occured during a police pursuit. He (the suspect) has now barricaded himself inside a rowhouse. It isn't clear if the suspect lives in the rowhouse, or has any connection to the rowhouse. The news (ABC 7) speculates, based on the opinion of neighbors, that it was a random entry (perhaps explaining the rumored hostage situation). The suspect is apparently in the basement with a shotgun (he has been there since around 10:30 pm). Surrounding residents have been evacuated. No further news is yet available.

good god.
i hope no one else was injured.
H St. between 9th and 11th were blocked off as of 8:30AM.
I spoke with a cop who said that there was a homicide last night. One person killed and another shot in the hand.
Also heard from neighbors that after shots were fired, the police chased individuals in two separate cars. One was a Jeep, which blew a tire on H.
I assume this is the same incident that ABC 7 reported, but why did he keep saying Mass and 10th, NE? I think he meant to say Maryland and 10th, NE. Or Mass and 10th, SE. Newsguy should learn to read a map.
Anybody hear anything else?
