Weekend Police Blotter: Shots Fired in Grass Lawn for Second Time in Two Days

Grass Lawn residents reported hearing shots fired for the second time in two days this Saturday, and investigators are working to determine whether the two incidents are related.

The second report came in just before 8 p.m. in the 13700 block of NE 71st Place. Jim Bove, a spokesman for the , said officers found six casings in the street but were unable to locate the weapon or the person who fired it. None of the bullets appeared to have hit anything, he said.

“Once we got there, there wasn’t anything there other than the shell casings,” he said.

The incident happened just two days after police responded to a similar report of shots fired in the 14700 block of NE 76th St. and found seven casings. Bove said both sets of casings were fired from a .40 calliber weapon and that the casings have been sent to the Washington Crime Lab for analysis.

Police are asking residents to continue reporting any similar activity to 911.

“(The more) information they can provide us, the better,” he said.
