Around the same time, police said a large group of “disorderly” teenagers were in the Navy Yard area. Out of an abundance of caution, the New Jersey entrance was closed to maintain order at Navy Yard Station.

The entrance reopened about 30 minutes later after the crowd had dispersed. Police have not said the incidents are related.

MTPD encourages anyone with information about the shooting to call 202-962-2121.
