Wait! How can this be? Guns are not allowed in the hands of private citizens in D.C. There is a law! This story can’t be right!!!
This article is a mess….0545 is not “broad daylight.” M St SE is nowhere near U St. NW….so how did the suspects flee from M St SE to a “nearby building” on U St NW?
There is no U St SW, and even U St SE is over the 11th St Bridge or I-695 and almost 2miles from VN Elementary….
Shot while trying to escape.
“Terrill’s alleged accomplice has been identified as 37-year-old Teyona Tolson”
No pics, of course.
MSN left a bit out, didn’t they.
That apartment building is senior housing.
Crime is out of control in D.C. I know the owners of a once popular restaurant near Howard University who are planning close because business has declined sharply because of it. The cause is more than demographics: if you compare the violent crime rate of D.C. to that of Northern Virginia, particularly the Route 1 section of Alexandria, which is just across the river and with similar demographics, you would see that D.C.’s violent crime rate is many times higher.
I think that I identified the problem.
