A shooting at a gym in Washington, D.C., killed one person and injured four others, and the gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, NPR reported. The shooting happened at VIDA Fitness, in the Logan Circle neighborhood about one mile north of the White House.
The first call for help came at 8 a.m. from people inside the gym. Officers and emergency responders were on scene within 30 seconds of that call.
After leaving the gym area, the gunman barricaded himself in a seventh-floor apartment in a building next to VIDA Fitness. Police tried for about an hour to get him to surrender safely. The gunman later died from the self-inflicted wound.
Jeff Carroll is the interim chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, the city's police force.
