Daylight shootout on R Street
07/07/2009 5:25 PM by John M
Police are looking for a white van and a blue car involved in a shootout on R Street a few minutes ago. The two vehicles exchanged at least 5 shots between 21st and 22nd Streets. No one outside of the vehicles was inured, though a house was struck by a stray bullet.
A bullet struck but did not penetrate the house
Spent rounds were left on R Street
The shooting didn’t make the “real news” or even today’s Noteworthy Events dispatch from the RPD.
ha- that is ridiculous, but not surprising…
There was a shootout like this on Idlewood in Oregon Hill a few years ago. It did not make the news either, despite houses getting hit by stray bullets.
Not Shocked. Not Shocked at all.
A white van and an orange camper were parked side by side in the parking lot of the Cedar St Baptist Church yesterday (the gravel lot on 700 block of Jessamine / 23rd). Didn’t look like either vehicle belonged there and the neighbors dogs were barking like crazy at the occupants.
The white van is gone but the camper is still there, last I went by there, and it looks like people are LIVING in it / spending their nights camping in the private lot.
