Suspected gunman dead in Washington DC mass shooting

We have a lot to get to this hour, but we really want to start in Washington, D.C. right now, where that investigation is underway after a mass shooting left one person dead and four others injured. So you are looking live at the scene. It looks like someone just stepped in front. Another shot we are getting from the scene there. Five people shot, one of them killed. And again, this all happened within walking distance of the White House. And now Washington police say the suspected gunman shot himself while barricaded inside Inside a nearby apartment, the violence unfolded this morning in In the Logan Circle neighborhood, you can just see how many people are out there. We see fire rescue. We see a number of police officers. And obviously, streets have been shut down and officers had to respond to multiple shooting locations. And nearby schools were placed on lockdown and authorities urged people to avoid the area. And Washington's interim police chief, Jeffrey Carroll, confirms one of the five shooting victims had died. So this is a photo that our sister station, WTTG, up in Washington. DC got from a viewer where you can just see a number of law enforcement officers on the roof kind of dealing with that barricaded situation earlier. We do know, obviously, that has now ended and the suspect apparently shooting himself. And this all apparently unfolded because of a dispute with the Apartment Buildings Homeowners Association. Investigators are still working to establish what led to the gunfire. I want you to take a listen to what police had had to say about all of this just a short time ago. Officers immediately were dispatched to this area. They were on scene within 30 seconds. Once they arrived on the scene, they did locate an adult male that had been shot. However, multiple other calls came out for additional gunshots and victims. At this time, we have located a total of four individuals that were shot here on the scene and transported, and one individual who was deceased here on the scene. When officers got on the scene, again, they began canvassing, attempting to locate the suspect in this case. While they were on the scene, they were able to begin to, of course, clear the building where the shootings occurred. They also began to clear an apartment building in the 1500 block of 15th Street. While clearing that building, gunshots rang out on the seventh floor. And since that time, we have determined the suspect had barricaded themselves in an apartment on the seventh floor of that building. NPD's emergency response team responded to the scene as well as additional resources from many federal partners, our patrol officers here, to coordinate amongst the different agencies and to deploy resources here. Our negotiators with their emergency response team were also able to make contact with the suspect inside of the apartment. They've been talking to him for over the past hour, again attempting to try to resolve the situation. 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. And so again, this news conference just wrapped up probably within the last about 20 or so minutes. We got to hear from the Washington Metropolitan Police Department's interim police chief with the latest. You saw the mayor of DC standing off to his right there. So there are still a lot of questions about what exactly happened. We're going to continue to follow it and bring you the very latest.
