The Washington Post WASHINGTON — A grand feast of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp was winding down, and a group of friends was sitting on the back patio of a Capitol Hill home, sipping red wine. Suddenly, a hooded man slid in through an open gate and put the barrel of a handgun to the head of a 14-year-old girl. "Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he demanded, according to Washington, D.C., police and witness accounts.
