In brief
Five people were shot, one fatally, in Washington’s Logan Circle neighbourhood, police said. The suspect later shot himself dead as officers entered the residential building where he had barricaded himself.
Five people suffered gunshot wounds in Washington’s Logan Circle neighbourhood on November 12, and one died, LIGA.net reported, citing Associated Press and police. The neighbourhood is about 1.6 kilometres from the White House, according to the outlet.
Interim Washington police chief Jeffrey Carroll said the suspect later shot himself dead in an apartment where he had barricaded himself as officers entered the building. Carroll suggested the man may have had a dispute with the building’s condominium association; this was a preliminary assessment of a possible motive.
Police urged people to avoid the 1500 block of 15th Street. Much of the block was cordoned off and nearby schools were locked down, LIGA.net reported. The outlet did not specify the condition of the other people wounded.
An earlier UNIAN report, citing Sky News, put the number wounded at four and said the gunman had not yet been detained. LIGA.net’s later account reported five people shot and the suspect’s death. Neither report named the victims or the suspect.
