WASHINGTON - One person was killed and four were injured in a shooting in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C., on Thursday morning, police said, according to the Axios report. The incident prompted a massive police response and shelter-in-place warnings in one of the city's busiest neighborhoods, Axios reported.
The Hill reported that four people were shot in the neighborhood early Thursday morning, prompting a large police response and street closures. Citing a critical alert from the Metropolitan Police Department, the outlet said officers were responding to an active shooting near 15th and P streets NW. The Hill's report does not say how many of the four people were killed.
CBS News reported that police said one person was killed and four were injured during what it described as a string of shootings in the neighborhood. The accounts differ on whether the incidents were one shooting or several, and on how many people were hit. Axios described a single shooting, while The Hill described four people shot and CBS News described one death and four injuries. The CBS News video report is the only source cited here for a string of shootings.
According to Axios, the suspected gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that to the outlet. Axios also reported that the shelter-in-place order was lifted around 11:35 a.m.
The available reports do not name the victims or give a motive for the shooting. The summaries reviewed for this story also do not reconcile the number of people shot with the number of people killed and injured, and they do not explain the role of the department's Emergency Response Team, which The Hill mentioned.
