One dead in downtown Washington shooting

WASHINGTON: One person was killed and four wounded in a shooting at and outside a fitness center in an upscale residential neighborhood of downtown Washington on Thursday, police said. Jeffery Carroll, Washington’s interim police chief, told reporters the suspect in the shooting had been found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound after barricading himself in his nearby apartment unit.

Carroll said the man, who was not identified, was apparently in “some sort of a conflict” with the homeowners association of the apartment building.
