At least five people were injured Thursday morning in a shooting near Logan Circle in Washington, D.C., according to the Metropolitan Police Department. The suspect is now barricaded inside an apartment and is no longer considered at large.
MPD said the shooting occurred in the area of 15th and P Street, Northwest, and that its Emergency Response Team responded to the scene. Police later said the suspect had been “contained” and was barricaded by officers inside an apartment at 1517 15th Street NW.
D.C. Council member Brooke Pinto said on X that the shooting took place outside Vida Fitness and that multiple people were injured.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said its D.C. branch responded to the scene and is assisting local authorities.
Police said they were negotiating with the barricaded suspect by phone. A fire appears to have been intentionally set inside the apartment where the suspect is located, and D.C. Fire & EMS has not been able to gain access to the unit.
It is not yet clear who set the fire. Officials have not released information on the condition of the injured or a possible motive.
This is a developing story. The Beltway Report will update as police release more information.
