One killed and four injured in Washington DC shooting, as police say suspect 'contained'
Police say the suspect was later contained after negotiators spoke for more than an hour, and the gym will remain closed for the day.
- On Thursday, November 12, 2026, an active shooter killed one person and wounded four others at VIDA Fitness in Washington, D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood. Metropolitan Police Department interim chief Jeffery Carroll confirmed the suspect later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
- Following the attack, the suspect barricaded himself in a seventh-floor apartment where negotiators attempted to resolve the standoff for over an hour. Carroll stated the gunman allegedly had a dispute with the building's homeowners association.
- Local schools were placed on lockdown as the Metropolitan Police Department's Emergency Response Team, supported by the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, secured the 1500 block of 15th Street.
- The VIDA Fitness location will remain closed for the rest of the day as investigators process the scene. Councilmember Brooke Pinto confirmed the violence occurred both inside and outside the facility.
- This incident occurs while National Guard members remain stationed throughout Washington, D.C., following President Donald Trump's 2025 decision to impose federal control over the city. The neighborhood previously experienced security challenges involving a Department of Government Efficiency member in 2025.
