A day of celebration ended with two teens being stabbed, and one man shot near Dupont Circle Saturday evening amid Pride events. This violence comes following a week of back and forth about whether the park should be open for Pride weekend.

Dupont Circle will be open to visitors the weekend of the WorldPride D.C. parade after all. It’s the latest update in a weeklong back-and-forth over whether the historic neighborhood would be open for Pride Month’s biggest weekend in the District.

City authorities canceled an initial request to block off the site, an L.G.B.T.Q. gathering spot in Washington, D.C. But the National Park Service opted to close it.
