## Summary

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.
