A violent Halloween night in the District was not limited to the shooting of at least six people around the city, as a large brawl outside and inside the Foggy Bottom Metro station involved pepper spray being dispensed and led police to draw weapons.

Georgetown and Chinese Team Patch Things Up
So much for an international incident — the Georgetown men’s basketball team and members of the Bayi Rockets officially made amends yesterday, exchanging pleasantries and the peace offering of autographed basketballs.
During a game in Beijing against the Chinese Basketball Association’s Bayi Rockets, the Georgetown men’s basketball team got into a brawl after head coach John Thompson III pulled his charges off the court in the middle of the fourth quarter.
Video of at least one crew-related brawl which broke out during Saturday’s Caribbean Carnival surfaced on the Internet this morning. It’s unknown if there is any connection between the brawls and the shootings which occurred later in the afternoon after the parade had passed, but both incidents appear to involve conflicts between neighborhood residents.

We thought that the subsequent benching and the move down the order would settle things down a bit. We thought way wrong.
