Not V&V in particular — that would be just slightly too self-congratulatory, even for us.
After I posted about the dog shooting at Adams Morgan Day, I heard from Simon Owens, who pointed me toward an interview he conducted with DCist Editor-in-chief Aaron Morrissey. The topic is DC bloggers scooping traditional news outlets, both with the aforementioned story and in regard to others (the Discovery Channel hostage situation in particular). It’s an interesting article, and you can find it here.
As for the dog story itself, an update from Washington Post perhaps validates my hunch that the owner of the attacked dog had a role in the police intervention. Sheila Martins, owner of “Sushi,” a “Bichon-Poodle mix” believes the police acted justly:
“I could tell like how aggressive the dog was,” she said. “If he would start running around, he would attack somebody.”
Martins’ dog suffered several injuries in the scuffle. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery, even if Sushi is a pretty dumb name for a pet.
