Angry residents and other unauthorized personnel were able to enter District of Columbia Department of Public Works sites even after a fatal shooting on a city lot, e-mails show.

"The citizen came in driving a red car with Redskins clothes on and was angry about us missing his and his neighbors trash regularly," one e-mail about an unauthorized entry stated. "I asked the gentleman how did he get in the gate he stated 'he just asked me for ID, I know about what happened over here and was surprised.'"

One DPW employee was killed and another injured in an October shooting at a District of Columbia lot, which prompted questions about security. Some workers say they remain apprehensive about coming to work at the site, where 51-year-old Larry Hutchins was killed by a gunman who has not yet been arrested.

"Yesterday an irate citizen entered the building at 1241 W. Street, NE, to complain about missed trash collection," another e-mail reads. "It took staff by surprise that he was able to enter the building unannounced. The staff questioned the citizen on how he had access to the building and the citizen responded that the guard did require him to show ID before he allowed him to pass."

The documents were obtained by a Freedom of Information request filed during the course of reporting a story on the shooting. Read them after the jump.
