mithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, D.C. may be changing its security strategy after two 18-year-old men were shot on Monday, the zoo’s director said. No suspect or motive has been released, although police said they believe it might have involved local gang members and the victims were targeted. “We cannot maintain our position was Washington, D.C.’s favorite place for families with children…unless we make it safe,” said National Zoo director Dennis Kelly. “We’re going back to the drawing board…rethinking everything.” Community members pointed out to Kelly that there is virtually no security upon entering the zoo, a stark contrast from all other Smithsonian institutions, which require bag searches and body checks, according to NBC's Washington, D.C., affiliate.
