Smoke Closes Columbia Heights Station
The Columbia Heights Metro station was closed for about 45 minutes yesterday because of smoke in an electrical room, Metro spokeswoman Cathy Asato said.
D.C. Fire Battalion Chief Wayne Benson said the cause appeared to be water dripping on a transformer. No one was injured.
People were evacuated from the station, and Metro operated shuttle buses between the Georgia Avenue, Columbia Heights and U Street stations, Asato said. The station was closed from 11:50 a.m. to about 12:35 p.m.

Police Identify Woman Who Was Found Dead
D.C. police have identified a woman discovered dead this week in her Adams Morgan apartment as Gabriela Jose Lopez.
Lopez, 29, of the 1900 block of Columbia Road NW had been stabbed several times, police said. Officers found her about 6 p.m. Tuesday after a co-worker of the woman flagged down a patrol officer and asked the officer to escort her into the apartment at Gelmarc Towers. The co-worker was concerned because Lopez had not shown up for work that day.
They found the body in the seventh-floor apartment where Lopez lived alone. Police said there were no signs of forced entry.
