WASHINGTON - A shooting at a gym in downtown Washington left one person dead and four injured, and the gunman died by suicide, according to reports from two outlets. The Guardian reported in a video report that large numbers of police in tactical gear arrived downtown, where an active shooter incident "resulted in a barricade situation in the 1500 block of 15th Street, Northwest," according to D.C. police.
The Guardian's summary said the suspect was found dead by suicide and that four people had been injured and one person was dead. The summary does not describe the sequence of events inside the building or the condition of the people hurt.
BBC News reported that police had identified the gunman in the shooting, which it said left one dead and four injured. According to officials cited by the BBC, one victim is in critical condition and three others have injuries that are not life-threatening. The BBC summary does not name the gunman.
The two summaries agree on the total of one dead and four injured. Neither summary gives the name of the gym, the names of the victims, or a motive for the shooting. The Guardian item is a video report with a brief written summary, so additional detail was not available in the material reviewed for this story.
Police statements cited in the reports describe a barricade situation and a suspect who died by suicide. The reports do not say whether additional suspects were sought or whether the barricade has ended, and no further official accounts were included in the available material.
