PRESS CONFERENCE | Gunman dead after killing 1, injuring 4 in mass shooting at gym in Washington DC

Two people are dead, including a gunman, and four other people are injured after a mass shooting at a gym in Northwest D.C. near Logan Circle on Thursday morning, according to D.C. police. Just before 8 a.m., police received a call about a shooting inside the Vida Fitness gym in the 1500 block of 15th Street NW. Officers arrived within about 30 seconds. One person was found shot inside the gym and died at the scene. Police then found four other people nearby who had been shot. They were taken to the hospital, and one of them has critical injuries. While searching for the suspect, who was identified as a white male, officers cleared the gym and an apartment building in the same block. Gunshots were heard on the building’s seventh floor. Police later determined the suspect had barricaded themselves inside an apartment there. Negotiators made contact with the suspect and spoke with them for more than an hour, police said. This video is of a press conference with law enforcement after the shooting.
