@reuters: A gunman killed one person and wounded four others in a busy Washington, DC, neighborhood, before barricading himself in his apartment and eventually taking his own life following a standoff, according to city officials. The attack began just before 8 a.m. ET about a mile northeast of the White House. The first officers arrived at the scene within 30 seconds of the initial call and discovered at least one victim, Metropolitan Police interim Chief JW Carroll said. While clearing a nearby residential building, police encountered gunfire coming from the seventh floor, where the suspect had holed up in his own apartment, Carroll said. Police negotiators spoke with the suspect via phone, but when they heard a gunshot, forced their way into the apartment and found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a law enforcement official told Reuters. Police have not identified a motive. The suspect complained about his building's homeowners association while speaking with the negotiators, the official told Reuters. #shooting #legal #washington #dc #logancircle
