It was horrible waiting for my bus in Woodley Park this evening with police officers holding assault rifles standing very nearby. I'm AA and grew up with the Easter Monday family day at the zoo tradition and I must say for the next few years cancel this event. I noticed far too many teenagers at Woodley Metro getting thrilled at the sight and sounds of the police and EMS speeding down the street. What a sad sight.

Who gives a f*&#. It should be shelved and re-vamped. Being against violent thuggery is not racism.

Time for leaders in the AA community to step up and clean this growing mess. Where are they?

I think this may be the real problem in DC - there AREN't any AA leaders anymore.

i think Mayor-for-life Barry still claims this mantle. He'll no doubt blame the shooting on too little government spending in Ward 8.

And time for the Smithsonian National Zoo and DCPS to put on their big boy pants and suspend the event for at least a few years.

I love this city, and I hate this nonsense.

This needs to be the last such event for a while. There have been multiple shootings at this event in the past 14 years. Time to end the "nonsense."

And he shot himself with a frozen yo?

No froYo just gives you watery diarrhea. This sounds more serious
