BREAKING: Logan Circle Shooting

Update, 11:20 a.m.: The suspect, who barricaded himself inside his apartment building, is dead. The news came shortly after the Metropolitan Police Department’s press conference ended. It appears he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter. The incident appears to have been sparked by a homeowners association dispute. Interim Police Chief Jeffery W. Carroll told reporters this morning that the suspect was “contained” at the time and suffering from a gunshot wound that appeared to be self-inflicted. While law enforcement conducted a sweep of the building, they heard gunshots on the seventh floor, according to Carroll. He said the suspect fired through the door of his apartment at officers at least twice. In responding to a question, he also confirmed that a fire was likely set in the building: The alarm went off and the sprinkler system was set off.
