Police made contact with the suspect, who barricaded himself into the 7th floor of an apartment building and sustained a gunshot wound to the head.
Police declined to state a motive but said the suspect had a “conflict” with his apartment building association.
“We do know there was a conflict between him and the homeowners association of that building, but at this point, we’re continuing to look into that,” officials said in a news conference.
Of the four victims transported to area hospitals, one is in critical condition, while the others suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Several people were shot Thursday morning at the VIDA Fitness center in Logan Circle, an upscale residential neighborhood about a mile north of the White House. Police said the gunman was a member of the fitness center.
Police said the suspected gunman barricaded himself inside a nearby Logan Circle apartment building and reportedly fired at police from his position. The man, described by D.C. police as a heavyset white male possibly wearing a gray shirt and carrying a gray-and-black gun, also reportedly set fires at multiple locations in the area.
Police urged residents and visitors to avoid the 1500 block of 15th Street. The area includes the gym, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and nearby residences, as well as a Whole Foods supermarket around the corner.
“Feels like a war zone in DuPont right now,” a resident told The Daily Wire. “Helicopters and cops everywhere. We are in an emergency shelter in place.”
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said the White House has been briefed on the shooting. Social media video shows scores of law enforcement officers rushing to the scene. Schools near the scene were placed on lockdown.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
