Last I heard, there were no U.S. federal statutes against murder and such
other crimes.  (Though there are federal statutes against interstate flight
to avoid prosecution by a state, crossing state lines for immoral purposes,
etc.)  Therefore D.C either has an additional criminal code or it allows
murder within its borders.
