WASHINGTON, DC — A teenage boy was wounded in a shooting outside the Waterfront Metro Station in Southwest Washington, DC, Saturday night.
Washington’s Metropolitan Police said they responded to reports of a shooting after 9 p.m. and found the victim conscious and breathing. The city’s Metro Transit police also responded to the shooting.
According to a report by Fox5 DC, the boy did not have life-threatening injuries.
Just a week earlier, four teenagers were arrested and charged with offenses including fighting, disorderly conduct, unlawful entry and assaulting an officer after crowds gathered outside the same station.
The city recently extended its temporary youth curfew zones, but the Waterfront Metro area is outside of those zones.
Police ask anyone with information to call them at 202-727-9099 or text 50411.
