Shooting on Benning
The Post reports on a shooting in the 1000 block of Benning Road, but I think this may actually be the 1500 block of Benning Road (as reported on the 1D listserv) because I don't think there is a 1000 block of Benning Road NE.
i was thinking the same thing. i was trying to think where benning crosses 10th, and then i thought maybe i was crazy and it was somewhere where benning is 10 blocks north of east capitol. then i just realized that the post doesn't like to fact-check local news, and i felt better.
The Going Out Gurus chat does suggest that Dr. G's will be open tonight. Someone sent photos of the fire, but they aren't posted yet. I had a little accident last night (sprained ankle) and so I was at the doctor's most of today, and haven't had a chance to post anything.

seems like shootings are up...
must be the summer blues.
thanks for passing this along, inked.
I saw the cop cars headed there last night, and they were definitely going towards the 1500 block of benning.
And there was notice of a shooting in the 1500 block of Benning in the MPD-1D list.
This is awful, when I moved to this area I never thought that there would be a shooting on Benning Road.
The 1000 block of Benning Road is all the way on the other side of the Anacostia River.
Does anyone know why H Street between 7th & 9th was completely shut off with emergency vehicles last night around 9:00? Thanks.
About the 700-900 blocks of H Street NE:
There was a fire in that area last night, which is why H Street was blocked off.
Best,

The fire was at the north corner of 7th and H street, 600 block. It looked fairly big.
