The National Park Service ignores a MPD Chief's withdrawn request and fences off the historic LGBTQ landmark during WorldPride weekend.

After days of uncertainty, the National Park Service shut down Dupont Circle for this weekend's Pride festivities, even after a community backlash to the idea and the D.C. police chief withdrawing her request to close it.

A man was shot in Dupont Circle Park and two others were stabbed Saturday evening, officials said. D.C. police asked everyone to clear the park.
