Montgomery County police have issued their latest official crime report. It includes the shooting on Westbard Avenue shortly after midnight on March 29, 2025. Two victims were wounded in the incident. As shocking as the barrage of gunfire in a quiet, previously low-crime Bethesda neighborhood, is that nearly a week later, there have not only been no arrests announced in the case, but the crime report indicates that detectives do not yet even have a description of the suspect(s) involved.
Surely the perpetrator(s) and the getaway car are on numerous surveillance and traffic cameras, including those at Bowlmor and at Westbard Square across the street. I also checked the public log for the new police department drone, and there is no record of the Bethesda-based drone being launched to pursue and locate the getaway vehicle following the initial report of shots fired. The vehicle was initially described as a "red Honda Accord." While the Montgomery County Council has weighed in on controversial national political events this past week, it has been silent on the Westbard shooting.

Several bullets were dodged so, no harm, no foul. Or so their thinking must go.
Do you not understand the drone program or do you not understand where Westbard is?
You think police aren't doing their job because you aren't receiving personal updates on the course of the investigation? What is wrong with you?
Maybe our MCPO will have better luck next time! They'll have many more chances with the message we send.
Robert, as you indicated, Elrich and the police chief (the public doesn't even know his name) say nothing. Yet, they have no issue coming out against Musk, HHS (Secretary Kennedy) and many more issues. They support ruining parkways like Little Falls because of one accident with a cyclist which resulted in death which is obviously tragic. Don't they want these upscale neighborhoods to remain safe? One has to wonder. Why not come out like our amazing AG Bondi has and say to these creeps that were coming to get you? All these officials in the county council are not deserving of the office they hold and don't represent many and certainly not me.
It's always safer for our council members to focus on national politics. Much harder to actually focus on their jobs and improve the county they rule.
Quality of life (housing, education) is rapidly declining) on their watch.
Bowl and frisk!
Does it really make a difference with the catch & release crowd in Rockville and Annapolis?
We need Dog The Bounty Hunter on the perps trail!
Are you privy to any news of any progress on any crime? One would think our Po-po would be proud to tell us of their prowess but the fact is they are pretty ineffective. Many sources claim there's probably a couple of hundred bad actors in total responsible, one has to assume with our lax punitive philosophy this number increases everyday as the sport (which it is becoming) becomes more popular.
Raskin, in particular, is worse than worthless. What a poseur! More embarrassing than Norton Holmes is for DC.
We're saving lots of taxpayer money forgoing the 'catch' part; it's not a problem it's a feature thanks to our elected over in Annapolis. More winning from the lib faction.
"While the Montgomery County Council has weighed in on controversial national political events this past week, it has been silent on the Westbard shooting." See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil at the Round Robin Council.
Apparently, the Drones are blind as a bat at night!
The Little Falls Parkway Fiasco is a Mass Tragedy Waiting to Happen. . .
They are aloof and are tilting at windmills.
Public Relations Stunt.
Another fine neighborhood sacrificed on the altar of unconscionable greed.
i can do it!
Already seeing cars being parked in the adjacent neighborhood in no parking zones. Just wait until all the retail and apartments are complete. Will need active parking enforcement in the neighborhoods.
Oh sure give you a minute by minute account of their investigation for what purpose? There is no "need to know" here until they have made an arrest. Sit your sorry, unprivileged, ass down.
ROTFLMAO! Oh paleezz.
*eye roll*
@12:32 You are soo out of line its pathetic. If you want higher up input here perhaps you should run tell daddy don to fix it for you.
Maybe you should get ol beady eyes Kash Pathetic on the case. He can bring his secret squirrel with him Boing Go Dan Bongino. Case closet!
Simple, just avoid that area like the bubonic plague!
Maybe it was a 4.0 student from the Whitman district who was the shooter.
At large and livin' large uncarcerated!
