WASHINGTON DC -- The man police say killed one person and wounded four others in a shooting in Washington, DC’s Logan Circle neighborhood appears to have shot himself after shooting at officers from inside his barricaded apartment, police said.

“Just moments ago, while communicating with that individual, officers heard a gunshot. As a response to that, officers forced entry into the apartment. When they did that, they located the suspect suffering from a gunshot wound,” Jeff Carroll, interim chief of the Metropolitan Police Department told reporters Thursday morning.

Police negotiators spoke to the gunman for an hour in an effort to end the armed standoff, Carroll said, but the shooter fired his weapon at officers.

“He did fire through the door at officers at least on two occasions,” Carroll said.

According to multiple law enforcement officials, the shooter has died.

The gunman shot one person inside a gym, according to multiple law enforcement sources. He then left the gym and kept shooting while outside, including into a parking garage, the sources said.

Aaron Moore, the president of VIDA Fitness, announced the Logan Circle gym location is “temporarily closed following a shooting” that occurred on Thursday morning.

“The safety and well-being of our members, guests, and team are our highest priorities. We ask that you avoid traveling to the Logan Circle location and surrounding area until further notice. If you are currently in the vicinity, please follow all instructions from local law enforcement,” Moore wrote in an e-mail to members.

“Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this incident. We understand that this news may be deeply concerning to our VIDA community,” he added. “The facility will remain closed until further notice. We will provide updates as more information becomes available and it is safe and appropriate to do so.”

Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser said the White House has been briefed on the shooting in northwest Washington, DC, on Thursday morning.

“The White House has been briefed, as is my process, yes,” Bowser told reporters.
