Investigators were trying to determine how a loaded handgun got into a cellblock inside District of Columbia Superior Court on Friday. It was the first time such a serious security breach occurred at the busy downtown courthouse in at least 10 years, authorities say. Although all prisoners are patted down by deputy marshals before being taken into the cellblock, only people who are taken into custody in a courtroom after coming in off the street are scanned by a metal detector.
