History

The station's opening coincided with the completion of 11.8 miles (19.0 km)[3] of rail between National Airport and RFK Stadium and the opening of the Arlington Cemetery, Capitol South, Crystal City, Eastern Market, Farragut West, Federal Center SW, Federal Triangle, Foggy Bottom–GWU, L'Enfant Plaza, McPherson Square, National Airport, Pentagon, Pentagon City, Rosslyn, Smithsonian, and Stadium–Armory stations.[4] Orange Line service to the station began upon the line's opening on November 20, 1978.[5] Silver Line service at Potomac Avenue began on July 26, 2014.[6]

On February 1, 2023, 64-year-old transit worker Robert Cunningham was killed and three others were injured in an incident involving a gunman. The attacker started an altercation on a bus, followed a passenger off and shot him in the legs, then went down to the station and shot another person in the before he confronted a woman. A transit worker tried to protect the woman and was shot. The attacker, Isaiah Trotman, was taken into custody and hospitalized. According to police records and his lawyer, Trotman has a criminal history and struggles with mental illness. Trotman was enrolled in a behavioral program but had not been seen for over a week prior to the shooting. He had been charged with several drug-related crimes in Pennsylvania in April 2022 and was awaiting sentencing after a plea deal.[7]
