Juvenile arrested for discharging firearm as mob gathers at Navy Yard

Crowds of juveniles descended on the Navy Yard on Saturday, leading to at least one arrest. Metropolitan Police say a juvenile was arrested near First and M streets around 9:45 p.m. after discharging a firearm. The firearm was recovered, and no injuries were reported. Videos from the Navy Yard showed mobs forming throughout the night, with at least one fight breaking out. Details about the fight have yet to be released, and no other arrests have been announced. The arrest comes about a week after DC police put special curfew zones in place for the Navy Yard and U Street corridor in response to social media posts promoting meet-ups. The curfew means anyone under the age of 18 can’t gather in groups of nine or more in public places, with only a few exceptions.
