A juvenile shot during a possible Green Line train robbery at the Navy Yard subway station

A young man was shot in a possible robbery aboard a Green Line train at the Navy Yard-Ballpark subway station in DC Saturday night, officials with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) said.

Several juveniles were involved in the incident just before 11:00 p.m., and one suspect allegedly shot the victim.

According to authorities, the victim was transported to a local hospital.

Green Line trains were briefly single-tracked while the Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD) investigated.

Around the same time, officials said “a large group of disorderly juveniles was in the Navy Yard area.”

In response, MTPD temporarily closed the New Jersey entrance, although the Ballpark entrance remained open. The New Jersey gate reopened about 30 minutes later after the crowd dispersed.

This incident remains under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact MTPD at 202-962-2121.
