France 24 reported that a suspect was barricaded in an apartment building and later shot himself. Live Mint noted a witness reported one victim was shot inside a gym and died at the scene.\n\nThe incident occurred in the Logan Circle area, approximately one mile north of the White House, according to Daily Post Nigeria. While police urged the public to avoid the 1500 block of 15th Street, Daily Post Nigeria reported that details regarding the exact shooting locations remained sketchy. Hindustan Times - World News cited police spokesperson Nicole Deaner stating the suspect remained at large and the exact locations of the shootings were unclear. The ATF has deployed agents to the scene to assist with the investigation, Daily Post Nigeria reported.\n\nSeparately, White House counsel Will Scharf vowed on Newsmax to fight against Democratic lawmakers' plans to open investigations into the Trump administration next year. Scharf stated on Rob Schmitt Tonight that such investigations are inappropriate and cannot be conducted for the purpose of inflicting pain on government officials, according to The Hill.",
