This is an undefined timeline for me, but I’m definitely moving out of the district before my kids start kindergarten.

As long as the killer is under 23 it doesn’t matter.

11 shot in the city going back 24 hours from this unfortunate situation

All 4 quadrants of the city. Maintain your situational awareness

Just think how many would have been shot if this city wasn't so safe!

Hey now, you should have been here in the '80s!!

Yeah, unless you have $3-5,000,000 for a house so far NW that the streets don't have numbers anymore and can send your kids to Saint Alban's, it's not really a place to raise kids.

The "fun factor" and proximity to work is cool enough in my 20s

Yep, exactly why I’m here now, and exactly why I’ll move to the burbs when I have a five year old. I know (from service groups and other functions) a few families with 3 or more children in grade school here in the District, and I’m afraid to ask them what they could possibly be thinking.

Enjoy. This is the pre-gentrified DC you so long for. Take it all in.
