Five people were shot, one fatally, in Washington DC’s Logan Circle neighbourhood on Thursday, and police said the suspected gunman later shot himself while barricaded in an apartment. The barricade ended, although police had not confirmed the suspect’s condition in an update reported by Axios.
Police said the shooting began at a gym and that four other people were injured. Three of them had non-life-threatening injuries and one was in serious condition, according to the department. Authorities said the suspect fled and barricaded himself in a nearby apartment building.
The Associated Press reported that the city’s interim police chief, Jeffery Carroll, said the suspect apparently had a dispute with the apartment building’s homeowners association. Police said the investigation was at an early stage.
The shooting prompted road closures and shelter-in-place warnings in the busy neighbourhood. Nearby schools were put on lockdown as officers responded.
