On Thursday morning, November 12, a gunman opened fire at a gym and on the street in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C., approximately one mile north of the White House. At least five people were shot during the incident, resulting in one confirmed death and four injuries.
Large numbers of police in tactical gear and members of the National Guard responded to the scene near 15th and P Street. Authorities issued a shelter-in-place order and asked residents to avoid the area as they dealt with an active shooter situation.
The gunman, who initially killed a person in the gym before firing on the street, eventually barricaded himself in an apartment building. Police reported that the suspect later shot himself and is now dead. Metropolitan Police Department interim chief Jeffery Carroll stated that the man apparently had a dispute with the building's homeowners association.
