Denise @Likeshesays Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, of Granby, Massachusetts. was a rising senior at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst majoring in finance with a minor in political science.
He was working for Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas).A college student from Massachusetts working as an intern on Capitol Hill.
He was fatally shot Monday night near the Walter E. Washington Convention Center downtown, and D.C. police said he was apparently an innocent bystander caught in a spray of bullets intended for someone else.

Please pray for his family....

Heartbreaking.
Very sad, may he rest in peace.
Look at what we've not done.
Dear G_d in Heaven, help us
Not holding my breath for the DC police to catch the murderer. Their priorities seem to be promoting people within their ranks who kill conservatives.
Washington DC is a complete SHITHOLE.
Ain’t Communism wonderful.
RIP...
He was an interesting breed. An Amherst student interned to Republican Congressman.
They will catch the perp. The likely demographic of the shooter is riddled with informants and “confidential sources” at the street level.
If the police know this kid was an innocent bystander and not the intended target, then they know who was the intended target???? They’ve left this part out.
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time when a Drive-By Shooting occurred................
Washington DC is a complete SHITHOLE.

worth repeating
I agree but the voters or non voters
had a voice in the matter. jmo
Somehow, that sounds racist. Or, he was in the area to buy drugs. Either way, or just bad luck, he probably would have been safer in the military and deployed to an active zone.
The victim was in the right place at the right time.
It was the killer who was in the wrong place.
But, as this is so frequent and common in Washington DC, maybe it IS the killer who was in the right place and the victim in the wrong place...
Ditto for Chicago where they’re warming up for the 4th of July holiday weekend:

“Chicago Drive-by Mass Shooting Leaves 4 Dead and 14 Others Wounded”
The place where he was shot is not a drug market, but a rather upscale, gentrified area, with lots of nice restaurants. But that’s the problem with D.C.: even the nice areas, including Capitol Hill, are on the frontier.
yes they would rat out their father if they knew him.

Lest than 12 hours ago. Starting the killing on Wednesday. Long weekend of death ahead.
I got the inside scoop from a congressional staffer when I booked a tour of the U.S. Capitol (highly recommended, by the way) when I was in DC with my daughter some years ago.
Most of the lower-level congressional staffers (such as those who give such tours) work for peanuts in one of the most expensive cities on the planet. They cram six into a flat located usually along the crime-ridden and low rent green line.
They are political junkies hoping to snag a promotion when it becomes available. Some do; some get a real job and leave DC when they grow older and wiser. But most of the wannabes just hang on and, as congress critters retire, they jump to new congressional staff or new administration positions and soon get hired on because there is a limited number of these political junkies, especially from far away flyover country like Kansas.
And, yes, these type of working conditions overwhelmingly attract leftists, gays and people who want to be close to political power. Monica Lewinsky is a classic example.
