CPD1617Scanner Such good news!🙏

And yet you still won't call out the actual cause of this, Foxx/Lightfoot/Evans/Pritzker/Preckwinkle.

How many times will you post this? We all know he is on life support.

I am so hoping this young man fully recovers. He did nothing wrong and this should have never happened. I want to send my love to his family and everyone who loves him. He just looks like a total sweetie to me.

Man critically wounded in double shooting, D.C. police sayMan is critically wounded in double shooting in D.C. I’m gonna lose my mind if this “longtime Washington Post reporter” types “police said” one more time, especially in the subheader. And the rhythmic weather reports are beyond tired.
