One person was killed and four others were injured in a shooting near Logan Circle, a trendy Washington, D.C., neighborhood within walking distance of the White House, police said. The suspected gunman later shot himself as a swarm of officers responded to a nearby apartment building where he was barricaded.
Police found the suspect, described as a white male, suffering from a “self-inflicted” gunshot wound on the seventh floor of a residential building nearby where the initial shooting occurred, Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffery W. Carroll said at a morning news conference.
Carroll described the shooter as “contained,” but moments after the news conference wrapped, two federal law enforcement sources and a law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News that the suspect was pronounced dead.
NBC News reports the gunman entered Vida Fitness and shot a gym member in the back and then ran out of the building, according to a person familiar with the matter. The gym was then evacuated and shots were fired on the street before people scattered, according to the person.
Carroll confirmed one person died at the gym and four others were injured in the area of 15th and P Streets NW.
The suspected shooter was barricaded on the seventh floor of a residential building in the area. Authorities found him in an apartment suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Carroll said. Law enforcement SWAT teams could be seen responding to the building.
The four people who were injured were taken to hospitals in varying conditions. Carroll said one of the victims was in critical condition and the other three had non-life threatening wounds.
The identity of the person who died is not yet known.
A witness who said she was at the gym on the treadmill when the shooting happened told NBC Washington she saw a victim as she ran out of the building.
“It was actually horrific, I’m not sure the status of the guy but he had been shot and there was no way of getting out of the gym other than going past the scene,” the woman said.
She said as she stopped to talk to an officer they heard more gunshots, “and there was definitely gunpowder, and smoke.”
Several people took shelter at a nearby deli. Oscar Vasquez, a manager at the nearby Call Your Mother location, said the fire alarms in the building went off and when everyone in the deli went outside they heard the shooting.
“We heard really loud, aggressive gunshots. Not like pistols or anything,” Vasquez told NBC Washington. “We saw people running in.
Police urged people to avoid the area of the 1500 block of 15th Street, which includes the VIDA fitness center, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and residences and is around the corner from a Whole Foods supermarket. Much of the block was cordoned off. Schools near the scene were placed on lockdown.
Streets around the area also were blocked off during a massive police response. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said it sent agents to the scene to help.
In early August 2025, a onetime member of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency was assaulted early on a Sunday morning in the Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman, authorities said.
Days later, Trump fulfilled his threat to bypass local authority and imposed direct federal control over the city, sending in hundreds of National Guard members to reduce crime. That deployment continues today.
