Natasha Cloud and the Mystics could hold a “media blackout” on Friday in response to shootings near D.C. school

On Thursday, Mystics guard Natasha Cloud called out D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser and Ward 8 Councilman Trayon White to address making schools safer after a couple shootings hit a school less than two miles away from the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Southeast.

According to Lesly Salazar and Sam Ford of WJLA-TV, two stray bullets from a shooting hit Hendley Elementary School on Wednesday during a movie night. Students were inside during that ordeal. That followed a May 30 incident when another stray bullet hit the school, but no students were inside then.

So how did Cloud get involved in this?
