Anthony Mirones was working out on a treadmill at the Logan Circle VIDA Fitness on Thursday morning when he noticed a commotion nearby. Looking toward the area, he saw a man lying on the ground. “So I was on the treadmill, and like I’m kind of facing that vicinity, that area where the victim’s at… but I couldn’t really see because there’s a lot of treadmills in the way. So then I’m trying to figure out what the commotion was, and I just see a dude laying down,” Mirones told the Washington Blade. Mirones was among the people inside the gym when a gunman opened fire shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday, killing one person and shooting four others, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. Mirones said police officers rushed into the gym as people attempted to understand what had happened. He then heard additional gunshots outside the building.
