Suspected gunman shoots 5 people in D.C., killing 1, before dying by suicide

Five people were shot in Washington’s Logan Circle neighbourhood on Thursday, one fatally, before the suspected gunman died by suicide while barricaded in a nearby apartment. The shooting, about a mile from the White House, prompted a major police response and school lockdowns; authorities said the suspect may have had a dispute with the building’s homeowners association.

Police said the suspect apparently shot at least one person inside a gym and then fired outside, with investigators also believing someone was shot in a parking garage lift. He barricaded himself on the apartment building’s seventh floor as officers responded. Federal agents from the ATF and FBI assisted local police, and the investigation was ongoing.
