5 people shot in trendy DC neighborhood, including 1 killed at a gym, a witness says

Five people were shot Thursday in a trendy Washington, D.C., neighborhood within walking distance of the White House, police said, and the suspected gunman shot himself as a swarm of officers responded to a nearby apartment building. One victim died in the shooting, said Jeffrey Carroll, interim chief with the Metropolitan Police Department. Carroll said the suspect shot himself while barricaded inside an apartment. He added that the man apparently had a dispute with the building’s homeowners association. The shootings were reported in Logan Circle, about a mile north of the White House. Much of the block on 15th Street was cordoned off as police urged people to avoid the area, which includes a VIDA fitness center, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, residences and a Whole Foods supermarket. Schools were on lockdown. Law enforcement SWAT teams and other officers had their guns drawn on the roof of an apartment building or on the ground below.
