Nation's Capital Declares Crime Emergency.
July 12 - Nation's Capital Declares Crime Emergency. Two groups of tourists were robbed
at gunpoint on the National Mall, just hours after the police chief declared a crime
emergency in DC. Alan Senitt was killed in the Georgetown area, his throat was slit and
the attackers attempted to rape his companion. It was the 13th homicide in DC in July.
Robberies and armed assaults are up in the past 30 days. The National Mall is under the
jurisdiction of Park Police rather than DC police, is usually considered safe. But the
recent crimes against tourists have raised calls for a larger police presence. AP
