WASHINGTON - Axios reported that police responded to reports of a shooting near 15th and P streets NW around 8:20 a.m. Thursday, with the Metropolitan Police Department's emergency response team deployed to the area. Axios said one person was killed and four were injured, according to police, and that the incident prompted shelter-in-place warnings in one of the District's busiest neighborhoods. Anna Spiegel reported the story for Axios.
Axios described police as responding to an "active barricade situation" in Logan Circle, and its headline said the barricade was ongoing.
NPR reported that a gunman opened fire at a gym in Logan Circle Thursday morning. According to police as cited by NPR, one person has been confirmed killed, four others were injured, and the gunman is dead. Jaclyn Diaz wrote the report for NPR.
The two reports differ on whether the situation was still active. Axios described an ongoing barricade, while NPR reported the gunman dead. Axios placed the shooting near 15th and P streets NW, while NPR said it occurred at a gym in Logan Circle. The summaries of the reports do not say whether those are the same location.
Both reports are brief excerpts. Neither summary gives the names of the dead or injured, a motive, or details of how the barricade ended, if it has. Those details were not in the material available for this story.
