A shooting and multiple stabbings occurred in the Dupont Circle area of Northwest Washington DC on Saturday night, a central location for WorldPride events. One man was shot, and two others were reportedly stabbed.

Two juveniles were stabbed in Dupont Circle Park on Saturday evening during Pride festivities and a man was later shot near the park, D.C. police said. The two stabbing victims, both male, were conscious and breathing when taken to hospitals after being wounded,

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.
