Interim D.C. Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll on Thursday confirmed a gunman killed one person inside the VIDA Fitness on 15th Street in Logan Circle. Carroll told reporters during a press conference at 14th and Corcoran Streets, N.W., which is about two blocks from the scene, that the Metropolitan Police Department immediately responded to the scene shortly before 8 a.m. after it received reports that shots had been fired inside the gym. Carroll said four people were also shot — one of them is in critical condition. The suspected gunman who Carroll said was a member of VIDA Fitness later barricaded himself in a 7th floor apartment above the gym, and shot at responding officers. Carroll told reporters police found the suspected gunman with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. “This lone gunman has been contained,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters.

Your carry-on fits only if you sit on it. Do you try the airport sizer?

Your suitcase is slightly larger than the airline allows, although it has fit overhead on previous flights. Checking it costs extra and risks missing a connection. Other passengers have equally questionable bags and staff are checking inconsistently.

Does uneven enforcement weaken a traveler's duty to follow the rule?
