Excessive Force Case Upheld Against DC Police Who Pointed Gun At 11-Year-Old Girl

A federal judge refused to dismiss a case accusing District of Columbia Metropolitan Police of illegally searching a private home and pointing a gun at an 11-year-old girl who was taking a shower.
U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss allowed five of eight claims to remain, dismissed two only in part, and dismissed in its entirety only one. The 56-page, Sept. 16 ruling in the 2013 case was made available Monday.
