Park View, D.C.

Adding more to the conversation about gun violence in the surrounding community, the latest Fourth District Weapon Recovery email from Saturday, April 20th, is below. As has been pointed out to me, it is interesting that all the listed locations this time are in the Park View, south Petworth area.

The email from MPD 4D:
