The Rock Creek Park Nature Center is apparently under a full on assault from nature. D.C. Fire/EMS now report that they've responded to a second yellow jacket attack (the fire department is still referring to them as bees, but the National Park Service seems to think they are indeed yellow jackets). Department spokesperson Pete Piringer puts the initial count of victims this time at 14 children being evaluated for stings at around 3:30 p.m. Earlier today, eight people, mostly children, were stung in the same area. That's all we know right now, but we'll go ahead and recommend not heading to the Rock Creek Nature Center today.

This is turning into a bad 1970s "nature attacks" horror flick. But I love it.
If I find out that the trees are what's responsible for everyone going crazy at the health care panels, I'm going to stop recycling.
Time to round up the volunteer Bee Fighting Brigade and storm Rock Creek Park!
Michael Caine is going to save us all, right?
Obama's deadly bee panels are at it again!
I'm getting flashbacks to "My Girl"
This could be a helluva lot worse if the bees had guns.
I don't know, have you seen the size of those stingers?
Just yours!
Stingers are illegal, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that MANPADS don't kill people, criminal insects do.
Nothing's worse than the dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you.
Smithers, release the robotic Richard Simmons.
These are disturbing developments. But I would still rather have yellow jackets in our parks instead of gypsies. Sorry Europe.
I find your use of the term 'yellow jackets' offensive.
Yellow Jacket stings are not pleasant at all, and can be especially terrible if you are swarmed without warning. (http://www.squidoo.com/yellowjacket)
