While white liberals littered your Instagram feeds with black squares and Washington, D.C.’s, elite donned kente cloths to take a knee for George Floyd, the Beltway’s black residents who live across the Anacostia River were being shot and murdered in disproportionate numbers, bringing the district’s overall homicide count to a 16-year high. But you would hardly realize the violent crime crisis engulfing the nation’s capital until this weekend, when the violence finally came to the doorstep of D.C.’s elite.

During a Saturday baseball game at Nationals Park, one Arlington woman who had left the game to wait for an Uber was caught in the crossfire of two cars shooting at each other. Despite the fact that the shooting had no actual relation to the game, the chaos from the sound of the gunfire forced not just a premature end to the game but also a national news cycle about D.C.’s crime problem.
