The Week Ahead…(Chess at Eastern Market Metro) & Some Photos from the Past Week
by Larry Janezich


Here’s some video from around 7:30pm on Friday evening at 13th and South Carolina Avenue, SE. It looks like Prince George’s County Police pursued a vehicle into the District resulting in a chase through the Hill East neighborhood and a crash. MPD was lax in posting a DC Alert to enlighten residents, but tweets from witnesses alleged there were seven MPD and Prince Georges County police vehicles involved. Witnesses said that an individual – possibly a juvenile occupant of the crashed vehicle – was being detained. Witnesses also reported a surveillance helicopter overhead which may have been looking for another individual who was reported to have fled the scene. No word how this comports with MPD regulations regarding pursuit of vehicles. Video credit: Brian Alcorn.
