Good morning, Washington, and welcome to a world with a new home run record. That’s right: Barry Bonds hit his 756th career homer last night against our very own Washington Nationals. We’re sure there are some mixed feelings among the Nats today about being immortalized in a video clip that’ll likely be replayed for decades to come.

Four Shot During National Night Out: Last night was the National Night Out, a crime-prevention event where citizens make their presence felt on the street. It was also the city’s third “All Hands on Deck” initiative, during which police increase their numbers and activity. Unfortunately these measures didn’t stop four people from being shot within an hour of one another last night, as the Post reports. NNO is about more than just preventing crime on a single night — still, this is discouraging news.

More Heat Advisories: It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but we’ll say it anyway — today’s going to be unpleasantly hot. WTOP tells us that the National Weather Service has issued another heat advisory for the afternoon. The heat index is expected to reach between 105 and 110°F.

Newseum Opening Delayed: The Post reports that the hall of all things journalistic will be opening its new digs a little later than planned. The Newseum’s original Rossyln location closed in 2002 as its parent organization began the process of building a new facility. That new building, located on Pennsylvania Avenue, was originally slated to open on October 15. Representatives now say that it’ll be open by the end of November.

Briefly Noted: U.S. Marshal indicted for incident in D.C. Superior Court… Accused child rapist back in custody after being released due to problems finding a translator… As many as twenty handguns stolen from Manassas gun shop…

This Day In DCist: One year ago we talked to the Broken Lizard comedy troupe and said goodbye to Livan Hernandez.
