A flurry of shootings overnight, including three killings, accelerated demands Wednesday for tougher action to stem rising violence in the nation's capital. "No mayor anywhere could be more unhappy about this situation than me," said Mayor Marion Barry. "If I had the solutions for these killings at my fingertips, I'd stop them. It's frightening, it's sad, that we've come to this point." Paramedics responded to 14 reports of shootings Tuesday, 11 of them between 6:30 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- A drive-by shooting early Monday morning in Washington, D.C., injured at least 11 people. None of the victims' injuries are life-threatening, a Washington Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman said Monday. The department is investigating whether a 12th person was hurt when two cars sped by a street corner in an up-and-coming part of the city, opening fire on a crowd gathered outside a building. Police have not yet released any information on the shooters' potential motives.

So that prompted the tongue-in-cheek question, "did your Trojans sound a warning to the Tar Heels tonight?" That was the the way the questioning went in the loose USC dressing room. And why not? USC had just blown out Washington State, 66-37, at the Sports Arena. The Trojans are unaccustomed to such comfortable winning margins and they relished it.
