One killed, four injured in shooting at DC gym

One person was killed and four others were injured in a shooting at and near Vida Fitness in Washington’s Logan Circle on Thursday, Nov. 12, police said. The suspected shooter barricaded himself in a nearby apartment building and later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police and law-enforcement sources.

Interim Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffery Carroll said one of the four injured people was in critical condition; the other three had injuries that were not life-threatening. The shooting was reported in the area of 15th and P streets NW, about a mile north of the White House. D.C. Council member Brooke Pinto said gunfire occurred at and outside the fitness center.

Carroll said officers made contact with the suspect inside an apartment on the building’s seventh floor and tried to resolve the standoff. After officers heard a gunshot, they entered and found him wounded, Carroll said. Law-enforcement sources later confirmed that he had died. Authorities had not publicly identified him in the reports.

Carroll said the suspect apparently had a dispute with the apartment building’s homeowners association, but described the investigation as being in its early stages....
