One person has been killed and four more injured in a shooting in central Washington DC
Police say one of the victims is in a critical condition and the others have non life-threatening injuries - here's what else we know BBC reported.
The suspect - a white male - is dead; authorities previously said he appeared to have a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" after barricading himself inside a building
Officers - who were at the scene "within 30 seconds" - also say they "believe there was some sort of conflict" between the suspect and the apartment building
BBC producer Jonathan Csapo, who lives nearby, says: Gunshots went off very, very close to where I was. I could see the smoke, I could see the flash. We just all started running
The shooting happened inside and near a gym in Logan Circle - one witness thought an exercise ball had popped, when in fact someone had been shot.
This morning's shooting in Washington DC's Logan Circle neighbourhood left one person dead and four injured, with one in critical condition.
The shooter, who police say they found barricaded in an apartment with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, is also dead, a police spokesperson told the BBC.
Here's what we know about what happened:
Just before 08:30 (13:30 GMT) this morning, the attacker entered a local fitness centre. At that facility and in the surrounding area, the perpetrator shot five people.
The suspect then fled into an adjacent building complex, barricading himself in an apartment while continuing to fire at the police.
A dispute between the shooter and the apartment building may have been a factor, police said, adding that the investigation remains ongoing.
Officers first attempted to negotiate with the shooter over the phone, but said communication ended after they heard a gunshot.
The area is now safe and nearby schools have resumed normal operations.
