One killed and four injured in Washington DC shooting, as police say suspect 'contained'
Police say the suspect barricaded himself after the shooting, and federal agents joined the investigation as schools nearby were locked down.
Interim D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffery Carroll confirmed during a press briefing that at least one person was killed and four others were injured in Thursday morning's shooting in the Logan Circle neighborhood.
Of the four surviving victims, one person remains in critical condition, while the other three sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
D.C. police announced they no longer consider the gunman to be at large, stating the suspect is officially "contained" and surrounded by tactical units inside an apartment building above the VIDA Fitness center on 15th Street NW.
A massive local and federal perimeter—including the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and Secret Service—remains locked down around 15th and P Streets NW with shelter-in-place orders still active for surrounding blocks as negotiators work to bring the standoff to a close.
