Update 2: The adult male victim was 24-years-old, says Sherri Lee, spokesperson for Metro Transit Police. He is now in stable condition.

The suspects fled the station on foot after the shooting, and MTPD was able to get security footage of them as they fled. Both suspects were stopped by D.C. Police, identified by witnesses, and arrested, according to Lee.

The two arrested suspects are 15 and 19-years-old, and MTPD detectives are saying that the 15-year-old was the shooter.

MTPD is also looking for two additional persons of interest.

Update: D.C. police reportedly have a person in custody, according to several reports.

An adult man was shot at the Anacostia Metro station this afternoon, Metro Transit Police said. The victim is conscious and breathing.

Green Line trains were temporarily bypassing the station, but trains are once again servicing the station. However, they will be single tracking and riders can expect delays.

A Metro spokeswoman declined to provide any additional information about the incident at this time.

NBC4’s Mark Seagraves reports that the man was shot in the neck.
