Anyone listening to a police scanner? Power came back on around 4am but the helicopter's been circling for hours.

Only heard the tail end of things.

Something about money and 9mm casings on the ground, a possible hotel and something along the train tracks.

K9 was involved as well.

Not sure the power outage was related.

Sounds like something fishy went down in a sleazy hotel.

Meth/heroin involved would be my guess.

Burke has sleazy hotels? TripAdvisor doesn't show any Burke hotels at all.

Police said accident and someone fled on foot. Not sure if accident was related to power outage

There is a big crane between the high school and the library. Maybe the accident involved hitting a power pole.? (like crane fixing it). Lots of police still there now. I think someone screwed up badly.

LOL. Third-world power distribution, meth hotels. Please, tell me again how superior Fairfax is to the rest of NoVA.

Burke Lake Road is STILL closed!

There are no hotels in Burke Prince Billy. Haven't noticed a meth problem and the power is very rarely out. Aside from being too busy/expensive and traffic lights don't seem to be in sync, Burke is a very nice place to live in my opinion.

I had heard something about a contractor not wanting to pay illegals for their work so he kills them and dumps their bodies around Burke.
