Another officer just confirmed it is a shooting. Happened about a block south of the National Zoo entrance shortly after Zoo Lights was closed early because of fights and other trouble. Huge crowds were there tonight.

I’m told the victim was a young male, not sure exactly what age, shot around the shoulder and possibly abdomen. Likely connected to the crowd that streamed out of the National Zoo after Zoo Lights was closed early.
