WJLA culls this remarkable detail from today’s double shooting in Columbia Heights: the argument between two youths that precipitated the shooting began at an orientation for the mayor’s Summer Youth Jobs Program. Ward 1’s Jim Graham confirmed that police confiscated a revolver and a set of brass knuckles at the orientation, attended by some 2,500 summer jobbers, at the Washington Convention Center earlier today, and that this incident appears to have stemmed from that earlier scuffle.

This connection appears to make it official that the city’s notoriously inept summer jobs program is the absolutely most embarrassing D.C. government initiative of all time.

Other updates: it seems the bystander was merely grazed in the leg, while the victim who was involved in the argument is in stable condition after suffering multiple gunshot wounds to the legs.
