Authorities say the suspected shooter has been apprehended, after he shot himself.
Police have apprehended a gunman who allegedly shot five people, killing one, in a busy thoroughfare in the centre of Washington, DC on Thursday morning.
Interim Police Chief Jeffery Carroll said the suspect, a white male, then barricaded himself inside a nearby apartment building. Police were negotiating with the suspect on the phone when they heard gunshots. Upon entering the room, they found the man had shot himself, Carrol said.
The shooting occurred on Thursday near Logan Circle, at the intersection of 15th Street NW and P Street, police said, at 8:23am local time (13:28 GMT).
Local and federal law enforcement, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Secret Service, cordoned off the area and worked to apprehend the suspected gunman, said Al Jazeera’s John Holman, reporting from the scene.
A witness told The Associated Press news agency he saw one person shot in the head inside a gym at the scene.
James Spellman was at the gym when he heard shots being fired. He said there were about 50 people there at the time.
“Within seconds there was a man who fell to the ground, and a pool of blood came out,” he said. “One gym member rushed to help him. He was instantly dead. He had been shot in the neck.”
Spellman said he and other gym members ran out of the gym and he heard more gunfire in the area of 15th Street. He said he heard about two shots fired in the gym and about five or six fired outside.
The attack took place about 1.6km (one mile) from the White House during the rush hour commute.
Schools near the scene were placed on lockdown. Police issued a shelter-in-place order as law enforcement descended on the block.
“Go inside the nearest building, stay away from windows, and remain indoors until further notice,” police instructed the public.
Trump’s focus on crime
The attack comes as the administration of United States President Donald Trump has made crime in the US capital a key issue during his second term.
That has included deploying the US National Guard across the city, a move Trump took after a former Department of Government Efficiency official said he was assaulted in the early hours of a morning in August 2025.
The US president declared a crime emergency, which also included federalising control of the federal district’s local police force.
Several thousand National Guard troops have remained in the district, with Trump regularly claiming their presence has brought down crime . Local officials have said the National Guard has not been used in local law enforcement.
The presence of the soldiers has at times caused friction with local officials, including Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser.
Speaking at a press conference alongside the police chief after the shooting, Bowser praised local police for their quick response to the incident, and dismissed the suggestion law enforcement had treated it with unusual importance.
“I praise [DC police] for bringing down crime in this city, and I praise our prosecutors,” Bowser said. “It’s not typical to have a active shooter that guns down people in the city, so all our law enforcement responded.”
The White House did not immediately comment on Thursday’s attack.
In November of last year, a National Guard member was killed by a gunman while on duty near 17th and I Streets NW. A second National Guard member was wounded.
In October, another National Guard member was shot during a gunfight in southeast Washington, DC.
