Shots Fired Mile from White House

(Washington DC) - At least five people have been shot, one fatally, in an active shooter situation at a Washington, D.C. fitness center.

Bullets were fired in the trendy Logan Circle neighborhood a mile north of the White House.

Police are reportedly responding to multiple locations and are urging people to stay away from the 1500 block of 15th street.

Much of the block is cordoned off and schools in the area are on lockdown. The shooter was barricaded and surrounded by SWAT members.

D.C. Councilmember Broke Pinto posted on social media that it happened at a Vida Fitness location and urged people to stay away.

A large police presence is at the scene. SWAT members heard a gunshot, made entry into the suspect's barricaded location and found him suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police say the suspect has been contained, and the shelter-in-place order has been lifted.
