POLICE ACTION AT 220 14TH ST. NE: Asked about the incident that occurred last Friday and Saturday at 220 14th St. NE, and whether tear gas was, in fact, used, as a neighbor reported in last week's issue, PSA 511 Lt. Renato Caldwell reported: "It was a domestic situation between a husband and wife. The husband took the wife hostage. The Emergency Response Team made an emergency entrance into the house and rescued the wife. The husband was arrested. There were no injuries or use of force. ... They threw a stun ball inside of the apartment. The ball causes everyone to become disoriented. This is probably what was referred to as tear gas. The ball causes high-intensity lighting, which temporarily blinds anyone in the area."

NEXT CORNER FORUM MEETING: The next Corner Forum meeting, to assemble the current issue and plan future ones, will again be at the home of Marc Borbely and Tammi Cioffi on Saturday, at 536 13th St. NE. Pancakes and juice will be on the table.
