Good morning, Washington. They’re baaaaaack — the D.C. Council officially convenes for the first time today, ending their long summer recess. According to the day’s agenda, the first legislative meeting could well be an epic one — after consideration of 24 different ceremonial resolutions, there will be consideration of at least 70 pieces of legislation and resolutions. Associate editor Martin Austermuhle is camped out at the Wilson Building today, and will be keeping us up to date on the important developments, so keep it tuned here.

Triple Stabbing on Massachusetts Avenue NW: Early this morning, three people were stabbed at 1111 Massachusetts Avenue NW. According to police, some kind of scuffle broke out at 5:47 a.m., in which three people were injured — one critically, the other two seriously. Police have taken one person into custody, but they have not yet been identified.

Man Who Died Outside DC9 Tested Negative For Drugs: It’s been nearly a year since Ali Ahmed Mohammed was found dead outside DC9, and now we finally have the results of the toxicology report conducted by the city’s medical examiner. The results, reports the City Paper, show that Mohammed “tested negative for amphetamines and barbiturates and cannibinoids and cocaine metabolites and metahadone and most others drugs you could name,” but did have a blood alcohol content of 0.22, which squares with the medical examiner’s conclusion that Mohammed died due to “excited delirium associated with arrhythmogenic cardiac anomalies, alcohol intoxication and physical exertion with restraint.” The five DC9 employees accused of restraining Mohammed the night he died were exonerated last November.

Disarray at the WTU: Nathan Saunders, current president of the Washington Teachers’ Union, was once a disgruntled vice president who successfully unseated his boss; now, he’s on the receiving end of a similar uprising. Bill Turque has the details on the battle between Saunders and his number two, Candi Peterson, who sued the union for breach of contract last month and was apparently removed from her position yesterday. “He’s become George Parker. In fact, far worse,” Peterson told Turque. The next WTU election will take place in 2013, so we imagine this battle will get far uglier before there’s a resolution to be had.

Briefly Noted: Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans gets a challenger…Use of firearms in D.C. homicides higher than national average…Alexander Ovechkin, after trying to bunt a baseball: “I’m kind of suck.”…Testimony of Google chairman to Congress tomorrow will bring protests to D.C….Maryland man who faked death sentenced to seven years in federal prison…Behold, the intertubes.

This Day in DCist: Last year, we argued against extending Metro station names to insane lengths, D.C. tap water did well in blind taste tests, and we debunked the rather bold claim of “The First Afro-Latino in History.”
