The violence followed days of back-and-forth between the Metropolitan Police Department and government officials as to whether to close the historic park.

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.

Dupont Circle will be open to visitors the weekend of the WorldPride D.C. parade after all. It’s the latest update in a weeklong back-and-forth over whether the historic neighborhood would be open for Pride Month’s biggest weekend in the District.
