WASHINGTON — Police say a 16-year-old shot a man at Metro’s Anacostia Station Tuesday afternoon and is among the suspects in custody.
Police are no longer seeking suspects in the shooting.
Metro Transit Police say just one person was wounded; the 24-year-old was breathing and conscious. Around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said the victim had been released from the hospital.
Police say a 16-year-old shot the man on a Green Line train. Investigators initially believed the individual was 15 years old, because he provided false information when arrested.
Witnesses helped police identify two suspects — the 16-year-old and a 19-year-old — involved. Police were able to capture video of the pair leaving the station on foot and share it with Metropolitan police, who quickly stopped them, Metro says.
The 19-year-old has been identified as Andre Broadie, of Northeast Washington. Metro Transit Police say Broadie and the 16-year-old are both charged with assault with intent to kill. Police are requesting that the 16-year-old be tried as an adult.
Earlier, Metro police released a photo of two additional people who they said may have been involved. They later said the original two individuals in custody were the only people involved.
The incident on Tuesday caused Green Line trains to single track between Congress Heights and Navy Yard while police investigated.
