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

Two people were stabbed at Dupont Circle Park during Pride festivities on Saturday and another was shot as the crowds dispersed, a D.C. police spokesperson said. All three victims were males, and police declined to specify their ages.

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.
