This sounds more like a robbery or home invasion than a burglary.
PSA 301
A Burglary occurred in the 3100 block of 18th St. NW at
approximately 8:40pm. The complainants report that an unknown
suspect entered the house through an open front door. When the
second complainant turned around the suspect was holding a handgun
and told him to stay quiet. T
he suspect then began to go through the complainant pockets and told the other complainant to lay down.
The suspect then stole $210.00, three cellphones, assorted credit
cards and ids and a tote bag. |

I have also questioned this characterization, but it seems to be considered Burglary 1 -- burglary while residents are home -- not robbery. I don't agree with that. It may have started out as a property crime, but when a gun is pulled on a resident, it's a crime of violence.
