Metro brief: Teen shot in Union Station

Two people have been arrested in connection with a Sunday night shooting outside Union Station that left a teenager seriously wounded, The Washington Post reported.

Police said the incident began around 5:35 p.m., when an altercation began between a group of youths, an adult man and an adult woman. Several minutes later, the argument spilled outside into the area right in front of the station and the adult man pulled out a gun. Witnesses said he fired three to four shots, hitting a 17-year-old. The teenager was taken away on a stretcher by rescuers, according to The Post.

Police arrested a 20-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman in connection with the shooting. Both were charged with assault with intent to kill while armed. Both were staying in a homeless shelter on the 400 block of Second Street N.W. at the time of the shooting, The Post reported.
