A shooting and a double stabbing are under investigation in the Dupont Circle neighborhood amid WorldPride DC festivities in the area. The violence follows a week of back-and-forth about whether Dupont Circle Park would remain open for this weekend’s Pride events.

A day of celebration ended with two teens being stabbed, and one man shot near Dupont Circle Saturday evening amid Pride events. This violence comes following a week of back and forth about whether the park should be open for Pride weekend.

City authorities canceled an initial request to block off the site, an L.G.B.T.Q. gathering spot in Washington, D.C. But the National Park Service opted to close it.
