One Dead and Four Wounded in Shooting Around Washington D.C. Condo Building

A 55-year-old doctor fatally shot his condominium building manager and wounded four people in Washington, D.C., before setting fire to his flat and killing himself, officials said. The attack in the Logan Circle neighbourhood prompted a major police response and left residents shaken less than a mile from the White House.

Police said the shooting began at the building’s gym before the gunman fired at people in the street from his seventh-floor balcony. One wounded person was in critical condition and the other three had non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities linked the attack to a dispute over repair work and alleged water damage in the doctor’s flat; he had sued the condominium association last year.
