Enjoying your grey and drizzly morning, Washington? Well you’re in luck. Our current perfectly reasonable precipitation is predicted to turn into an ill-tempered thunderstorm by this afternoon. If only we could prescribe psychotropic drugs and anger management classes for the weather. Alas. We’ll just have to settle for some slightly upsetting headlines.
Police Find More Guns In Shooter’s Home: The Post brings us the latest developments in the investigation of Monday’s shooting at the Sully police station in Chantilly. A newly-unsealed warrant reveals that gunman Michael Kennedy kept a collection of nine guns — not counting the seven he brought on his rampage. Police also found notebooks containing suicidal thoughts and “satanic symbolism” in his family’s townhouse. Also worth noting: injured officer Michael Garbarino’s doctor says that he is showing improvement and that if all goes well, Garbarino could be out of the hospital in two or three weeks.
More Charges Against Maryland Teacher:A total of 12 felony threat counts have now been brought against sixth grade teacher Michelle Dohm of Thurmont, Md., reports the Times. Five male students at Thurmont Middle School now claim Dohm has been stalking them, in addition to other charges including that she threatened to blow up the school. In related news, NBC4 is taking the opportunity to warn us all about female sex offenders run amok, and Mary Kay Letourneau would like to remind you that she’s still totally alive and deserving of some of your attention.
Nats Might Make It To Comcast Soon: We hate to be a tease, but we can’t resist mentioning the latest news in the seemingly never-ending dispute over the Nationals’ TV rights. NBC4 reports that Peter Angelos has agreed to place Comcast licensing revenue into an escrow fund, allowing the situation to be temporarily resolved while the two sides continue to hash out an agreement. The relevant parties will be meeting on Friday; hopefully we’ll hear definite news of a resolution then.
Briefly Noted: Man killed by own pit bulls… BGE ordered top stop distributing rate-hike-related literature…Metro to be even more unpredictable than usual… Arlington police shoot a man in N.E. Washington… New Wilson Bridge to open next month, er, sometime…
This Day In DCist: A year ago today a helicopter accidentally buzzed the White House as we made cajun pasta and tried to offer sage advice to the city’s interns.
