I walked through the moechella crowd earlier this evening and there were cops everywhere. They didn't stop the shooting from happening. We need real solutions to community safety, the answer can't just be "more cops"

Daniel Dyson witnessed the U St shooting after the #moechella festival. He says he was standing right next to the officer who was shot. A 15-year-old boy was killed, according to @DCPoliceDept. We’re live on @fox5dc at 11

The shooting occurred while authorities were trying to shut down the “Moechella” festival, which was unpermitted within the city, according to the police chief. He also said he will discuss if promoters would be held accountable

(How was a free event that large unpermitted?)
