An active shooting incident in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, November 12, has left at least one person dead and four others injured, triggering a massive police response and a security lockdown in parts of the U.S. capital. The shooting occurred in the vicinity of 15th and P Streets NW, in the Logan Circle neighbourhood, where multiple gunshots were reported around the VIDA Fitness gym. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) confirmed that its Emergency Response Team was deployed to the scene and issued an urgent alert warning residents and members of the public about the active shooting. As the situation unfolded, additional gunfire was reported, prompting an expanded emergency response. Footage from the scene showed heavily armed police officers and emergency response vehicles converging on the area. According to NBC News, the suspected shooter barricaded himself inside an apartment building above the gym following the shooting. The suspect had not been taken into custody as of the latest reports. At least five people were shot, including one person who was pronounced dead. The four surviving victims were transported to nearby hospitals, although their identities and the full extent of their injuries had not been immediately disclosed. Federal law enforcement agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), joined local authorities in responding to the incident. The National Guard also assisted in securing the surrounding area, while police urged residents and visitors to avoid the affected neighbourhood. Authorities issued a shelter-in-place directive for the 1500 block of 15th Street NW, advising people in the vicinity to remain indoors and away from windows. Several nearby schools were also placed on alert, with restrictions on movement in and out of their premises. The circumstances surrounding the shooting, including the suspect’s identity and possible motive, remained unclear as authorities continued their response.

Heaven Jesus spoken about is inside the already descended New Jerusalem of God Jesus Christ here on his earth and not in the air above the clouds according to the 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 which contradicted priesthood prayer of Christ in John 17:15&24 that they mustn't be removed or taken out from the world or masses but be protected from the evil spirits down here on earth of God Jesus Christ
