“Tonight’s Shooting In Congress Heights Does Not Defeat, Nor Define Us”

A man was shot and killed during a gas station robbery Monday night in Congress Heights. At the same time, local residents were meeting down the street for the “Is Congress Heights a Ghetto?” discussion.


While I know that there will be “jokes” and snarky comments about the irony of tonight’s events there is nothing the least bit funny or amusing or even expected about what happened.

Crime happens everwhere whether it be Congress Heights or Georgetown and it is deplorable, discpicable [sic], and should never be tolerated, least of all expected.

As residents of Congress Heights we continue to stand strong.
