4 gunshots in Navy Yard. Apparently an earlier fight at one of the bars among the drunk patrons. I’ve seen 2 sitting down passed out young people. I saw at the same time several young women trying to fight more (it was stopped by respective friends). Just a messy St, Patrick’s weekend night in a lot of ways.
