One dead, four wounded in US shooting

One person was killed and four others were wounded during a shooting at and outside a fitness center in the Logan Circle area of downtown Washington on Thursday, according to police. Dawn reports that the incident occurred at a VIDA fitness club in an upscale residential neighborhood located about a mile north of the White House. Of the four wounded individuals, one is in critical condition while the others sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Dawn reports.

The suspect barricaded himself in a nearby apartment unit and was later found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to interim police chief Jeffery Carroll. Dawn states the unidentified man was apparently involved in a conflict with the apartment building's homeowners association. Punch reports that the gunman killed himself after the shooting.
