WASHINGTON, DC.- A 36-year-old Northeast, D.C., woman became the 101st victim, and the second person to be killed in less than 48 hours in the never-ending violence plaguing the Nation’s Capitol City, after she was fatally gunned down Wednesday morning inside a Benning Road residence in Northeast, D.C.
