Two More Fatal Shootings Reported

Yesterday we noted that four fatal shootings had been recorded in the city over the weekend, and now there are two more to report. The Post says that a 20-year-old man was fatally shot Sunday in the 300 block of 34th Street SE, bringing the weekend total to five (one of which has already seen an arrest made). And the AP/WJLA bring our attention to another killing early this morning: 26-year-old Anthony Reginald Ford was shot and killed of the unit block of 58th Street SE at about 1 a.m.

Never cross the Anacostia. Absolutely goddamn right. Unless you were going all the way.
