Not every robber in the District uses a gun. Many merely grab an item and run. Police said the weapon shown in a holdup early Sunday near 14th and Q streets NW was a knife.
But many robberies do involve guns, and police said guns were found last week in many parts of the District, as they were being carried, kept indoors, discarded and even stored on the street in a cable television box.
