D.C. Mayor Fears Domestic Terror Danger Will Spread To City’s Residential Areas

Democratic District Mayor Muriel Bowser voiced concern Sunday that the potential violence against which more than 20,000 troops are protecting the federal parts of Washington, D.C., may spread to its less protected residential areas.

“I’m not only concerned about other state capitals, I’m also concerned about other parts of Washington, D.C.,” Bowser told NBC host Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.” “What you’re showing is really the federal enclave of Washington, D.C., not where the 700,000 of us live. So our police department, working with our federal law enforcement partners and the United States Army, quite frankly, also has a plan to pivot if we have any attacks in our neighborhoods.”
