According to the 1D listserv:

There was a burglary at 707 H Street NE. The officers wanted to check the roof. While they were inside the heard noises they thought may have been someone hiding in a crawl space on the roof. Nothing was found

I believe the term that describes this is the “ghetto bird”

Renee and PetworthRes, there is talk on the MPD 4d listserv of shots fired around 6am this morning near Sherman Circle (7th and Crittendon area). Officers responded but nothing was found.

Mal: I believe 1337 is old school hacker talk meaning ‘leet’ as in ‘elite’. I believe a correct response is ‘ultra ultra’ or 455h013 (a$$hole). Yes he’s poking at you.

@oboe… 1337? huh? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to take that as a slight or not… And my mouse only has one scroll wheel – I meant the middle button (which is a scroll wheel)

@Warderite – I was so excited when I learned that little trick! I end up with like 25 tabs open by the end of the day!

@Renee, we live near 7th and Taylor – our neighbor heard gunshots last night, and my boyfriend and neighbor both heard the ones around 6am this morning. On Sunday night at 9pm, I also heard about 8 gunshots – two bursts of 4 shots. This is ridiculous!

If you click on a link with the middle scroll wheel, the link will open in a new tab.

Wow! You’re 1337! How many scroll wheels does your mouse have?

I heard two sets of gunshots. One around 930 and then another group of shootings around 6am. But I live on 14th and Randolph. I wonder if it was the same thing as what the post is reporting on. I did hear the helicopter but it didn’t stay in my area for very long.

Thanks anon 11:31 am – that coding is what I was talking about!

I’m glad to hear it’ll be in the new site relaunch. PoP. Looking forward to it!
