Gunfire erupts at National Zo
six children receive shot wounif"
WASHINGTON (AP) — A running scuffle be
tween two groups of youths erupted into gunfire at the
crowded National Zoo, leaving six young people re
covering from gunshot wounds.
The popular tourist attraction, which was crowded
with thousands of people celebrating, when the shoot
ing occurred Monday afternoon, was closed today as
police continued their investigation.
Although police had said the most severely wound
ed, an 11-year-old boy, was brain dead, Children’s Na
tional Medical Center said today his condition had im
proved and he was responding to care. "Although the
child remains in critical condition, a repeat CTscan of
the head continues stable,” said Dr. Martin R. Eichel-
berger, director of trauma services at the hospital.
Police Chief Charles Ramsey said today that offi
cers know who they arc looking for. A police source
who asked not to be identified said there is no evi
dence that more than one shooter was involved. The
National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People posted a $25,000 reward.
Police said they were investigating whether the
shootings were gang related and sought at least one
teen-age gunman who fired a handgun into groups of
youths after a confrontation escalated to bottle throw
ing and then shots.
"Whether it’s officially a gang activity or not. the
fact of the matter is that there were two groups of
youth who were scuffling, who were fighting
throughout the afternoon, and as all too often hap-
“Whether it's officially
a gang activity or not,
... there were two
groups of youth who
were scuffling. ..."

Washington, D.C. Mayor
pens, had ready access to guns and the results speak
for themselves," Mayor Anthony Williams said toda>
on CBS* "The Early Show."
The shooting victims ranged in age from II to 16
and were attending a century-old posl-Easter gathering
celebrating African-American families.
Police said the seventh victim, a teen-ager, showed
up at a hospital ov emight for treatment of a gunshot
wound to the thumb.

Elian to spend time with family,
WASHINGTON (AP) At the re
quest of'Juan Miguel Gonzalez, four play
mates ofhis son. I lian, w ill be allowed to
come from C'uha to
visit him here for
about two weeks, the
State Department
said Tuesday.
Spokesperson
James P. Rubin said
visa requests from
the four will be dealt
with on an expedit
ed basis once they are received. One
adult will be permitted to accompany
each child.
Rubin noted that the department is
sued visas almost three weeks ago to
Elian’s former kindergarten teacher, a
pediatrician and a male cousin. They
at
GONZALEZ
have not used the visas but may do st
any time, Rubin said.
President Clinton urged that Elian's
family he given “the space it needs to
heal its wounds and 'strengthen its
bonds.” He also commended federal
agents for their armed seizure of the boy
from relatives in Miami. "They had a
very, very difficult job to do w ith no easy
choices,” the president said. “I am grate
ful that they were able to safely reunite
the young boy with his father.”
* He spoke at a White House ceremo
ny about anti-hate crime legislation, and
w armly commended Attorney General
Janet Reno for her leadership.
Elian, his father, stepmother and half
brother departed Andrew s Air Force Base
today, the Marshals Service announced.
Rubin said they were being moved to the
Aspen Institute's secluded Wye River fa
cility on Maryland's Eastern Shore to
await court action over whether Elian
should be allow ed to return to Cuba.
The Marshals Serv ice remained with
the family for protection, said Marshals
spokesman Drew Wade.
Meanwhile, Reno, who has voiced
"no regrets w hatsoever” for the raid that
returned I lian to his father, defended her
tactics in a I 1/2-hour closed-door ses
sion with lawmakers. She declined to
speak to reporters as she left the Capitol.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the first
senator to leave the meeting and a de
fender of the administration's handling
of Saturday's seizure of the 6-year-old
boy, said Reno "was objective.”
"The law was followed," Leahy
told reporters. However, he said the
