Police arrested two teenage suspects Saturday in a daytime shooting just outside Union Station in Washington, D.C.,<\/a> that left a 15-year-old boy wounded.<\/p>\n

A 17-year-old juvenile male from Northeast D.C. and a 16-year-old juvenile male from Southeast D.C. were charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, police said.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred along Massachusetts Avenue NE near North Capitol Street, a major corridor close to the U.S. Capitol and Union Station that falls within the broader Capitol security footprint and regularly sees federal law enforcement activity.<\/p>\n
