Shooting on Rock Creek Church Road Early Saturday
According to information sent to the Prince of Petworth from a resident on Rock Creek Church Road, there was a shooting and police activity at the intersection of RCCR and 8th Street at about 1 a.m. Saturday morning (12/5/09).
MPD tells me that two men standing in line at Sweet Mango were shot. Both victims clam there was no apparent reason for the shooting. In responding to the incident, 4D offices arrested one of the victims on a warrant.
