1 killed, 4 shot in DC gym shooting; police chief updates Logan Circle barricade

One person is dead and four others were injured following a shooting inside a Washington, D.C., gym that led to an active barricade situation in the Logan Circle neighborhood, D.C. Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll said. During a preliminary briefing, Carroll said officers responded just before 8 a.m. to a shooting inside a gym in the 1500 block of 15th Street Northwest. Officers arrived within 30 seconds and found four people who had been shot and taken to hospitals, along with one person who died at the scene. While officers were clearing a nearby apartment building in the 1500 block of 15th Street, gunshots rang out on the seventh floor, where the suspect barricaded himself inside an apartment. Carroll said Metropolitan Police Department negotiators and the Emergency Response Team made contact with the suspect and have been speaking with him for more than an hour as local and federal agencies remain on scene.
