Teri Okita/Reporting: On a winter morning in 1993, Kasi walked up this busy street in front of CIA headquarters and began shooting into cars with an AK-47 assault rifle. Two CIA employees were killed, and three other men were wounded.
ONE OF THOSE INJURED WAS NICHOLAS STAR SHOT IN THE ARM AS HE

Less than a week after the Foundation filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, the lawyers have agreed to try to settle the matter OUT of court.
Though they were in Bankruptcy Court this afternoon, the attorneys asked the judge to give them until the end of the year to come up with their own solution.
The Memorial remains millions of dollars in debt, but the Foundation intends to put World War Two veteran Melvin Profitt at the head of the list of creditors.
He gave the Memorial one million dollars last year, with the understanding the Foundation pay him a 70-thousand dollar annuity for life.
