Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday that there has not been a homicide in the city in more than a week.
“[T]here have been no recorded homicides in the city for the past week,” said public information officer Michael Russo via email. “Our last recorded homicide was August 13th.”

Those arrests included six illegal firearm recoveries, seven drug seizures, and charges including theft, assault with deadly weapon, drug offenses, assault on an officer and unlawful entry.
