Last night, at approximately 7 pm, police were called to the 1400 block of V street following gun shots. They observed the suspect and pursued him on foot. They caught him trying to dump the gun and arrested him, recovering the gun. I walked by here maybe 30 minutes earlier, and saw a ton of police at 14th and W, wondering what happened. I don’t know if these incidents are related, but I’m really sick of reading about stuff like this going down: maybe it’s my other gig making me more aware. But it seems like in the past few weeks there has been a lot of disheartening news.

There is a lot of illicit activity on 14th and W Streets, especially in near the gas station and in the alleys. There needs to be more police presence or something else to keep that area safer.

It’s all those yuppies in the building right next to the gas station and across the street that are causing this.

Disheartening? An arrest was made, a gun was taken off the street and nobody got hurt?
I don’t know, I’m kinda happy about that….

Yeah, I should have clarified that I’m glad MPD caught the guy. But I’m still not happy that it happened.

I hope the statement about the people living by the gas station and across the street is a joke. There continues to be tons of illegal activity on the 1400 block of W Street, specifically in the parking lot of Ready Personnel.
