Just about a mile from the White House,
a gunman opened fire in Washington DC,
killing one person and wounding four others.
And here's what we know so far. The shooting happened
around 8am in Logan Circle,
and that's a busy neighborhood in the heart of the city.
According to police, the gunman is believed
to have first opened fire inside a gym
before moving outside and shooting more people.
Investigators also believe another person was
shot inside a parking garage elevator
and a witness told the Associated Press
there were around 50 people inside the gym when the shooting began.
He described seeing a man collapse after being shot
in the neck as people rushed to escape.
Police say the suspect
then barricaded himself inside a seventh floor apartment in a nearby
building. Officers negotiated with him
for about an hour before hearing a gunshot.
According to police, officers entered
the apartment and found the suspect
with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
His death was subsequently confirmed
to AP by a law enforcement official.
Of the four people wounded, police say one is in critical condition,
while the other three have non-life threatening injuries.
The shooting prompted a major police response,
with SWAT teams and federal agents deployed to the area.
Police have described the suspected gunman as a white man who they
believe lived in the apartment building and was a member of the gym.
His identity has not yet been publicly released.
D.C.'s interim police chief says the suspect apparently had
a dispute with the apartment building's homeowners association.
But investigators have not established whether
that dispute was connected to the shooting.
Police say the barricade situation is now over, but they're asking
people to stay away from the area as the investigation continues.
