This from the Shaw listserv:
I am sad to report; I was robbed at gun point about 11:45 pm tonight right in front of my front door at 4th and N tonight. It was a single black male with a mask and a big black semi-automatic gun. Luckily I am fine and all he got was $24 and a blackberry. EVERYONE be careful! I have heard this is not the first mugging in recent days in the neighborhood. The good news is the MPD was here VERY quick, The response was very good with multiple cars including a bike patrol and detectives.
