One person was killed and four others wounded after a gunman opened fire in an upscale neighbourhood of Washington, DC, on Thursday before barricading himself inside his apartment and taking his own life, police said.

Washington’s interim police chief, Jeffery Carroll, told reporters that the gunman shot and killed one person at a fitness centre attached to his apartment building before wounding four others. He said the suspect subsequently barricaded himself inside his apartment and fired at least twice at police officers through the apartment door before shooting himself. The suspect, whose identity was not immediately disclosed, was pronounced dead at the scene. Carroll said preliminary information suggested that the gunman had been involved in “some sort of a conflict” with the homeowners association of the apartment building in the Logan Circle neighbourhood.
