Man fatally shot in NE D.C.
A man was shot and killed Wednesday night outside an apartment complex in the Fort Totten area of Northeast Washington. Police said the violence apparently was sparked by a domestic dispute.
Officers were called to the unit block of Hawaii Avenue about 7:45 p.m. for the report of a shooting, and they found the victim with a least one gunshot wound in the head.
The man, whom police did not identify, was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 8 p.m., said Officer Quintin Peterson, a police spokesman.
Two police sources said authorities think the man may have been shot after the victim and his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend argued.

The perp must have had a legitimate reason for killing the victim. Like being "disrespected" in some way..

Generally, lovers quarrels are the number one reason worldwide for murder, and are hardly unique to any community...

No surprise here, that is how most arguments are settled in these black communities. I wonder if these were just boyfriends of the woman, or if either of them were her, "baby daddy"?

Just like it is no surprise when you hear that someone has flown their plane into the I.R.S. Building, that it has to be a "white man". Or when a "white" gunman walks up to 2 Pentagon police officers and tries to blow them away. White people settle their arguments differently, they just kill up 8 people like that "white guy" did in Virginia.
