"textContent": "D.C. police are asking for help identifying a robbery suspect involved in the chaos that broke out in Navy Yard over the weekend.\n\nNeighbors tell FOX 5 it was complete chaos Saturday night, when a large group of teens gathered in the area beginning around 6:30 p.m.\n\nWithin two hours, the group grew to approximately 200 teenagers, all in an open park area. Then, things turned violent.\n\nPolice are asking for help identifying a teenage boy who they say was involved in an attack during Saturday night's melee.\n\nDetectives say a 15‑year‑old was firing a gun into the air before being stopped by members of the National Guard.\n\nIn a separate incident, the Secret Service took a 16-year-old into custody after officers say he tried to ditch a gun inside a rideshare car.\n\nFortunately, no one was seriously hurt during Saturday night's violent encounters.\n\nPeople who live and work in the area say they are sick and tired of teen violence.\n\n\"Next thing I knew, I hear, ‘boom, boom, boom,’ and kids came flying across the street, and that was gunfire,\" one Navy Yard resident told FOX 5. \"I was very disappointed, and so what I would like to see is that the community here have some kind of notification.\n\nNeighbors say they want to make sure that city officials include Navy Yard when there is a juvenile curfew zone to help stop the violence.\n\nAnyone with information related to this incident is asked to call MPD at 202-727-9099 or text a tip to 50411.",
