Logan Circle shooting leaves 1 killed, 4 injured as barricade ends

Gunfire at gym and nearby

Police said five people were shot when a gunman fired inside and outside a gym in Logan Circle on Thursday morning. One person was killed in the gym, and four others were injured.

The other victims included construction crew members across the street and a person in the gym’s lobby or an alley outside, police official Carroll said. He said the suspect was believed to have used a handgun. A fire was also set inside the building, and sprinklers activated.

Suspect found in apartment

Multiple sources familiar with the incident told CBS News the suspect was dead. Carroll described the suspect as “contained.” Police did not know for certain who started the fire, though Carroll said authorities thought the suspect may have done so; the fire was contained.

Neighbor describes complaints

Jonathan Csapo told CBS News the suspected shooter lived upstairs from him. Csapo said the neighbor had been upset with building management over a water issue in his apartment and had raised complaints on X, in a lawsuit and at board meetings.

Csapo said the suspect seemed more upset at two recent board meetings. After the fire alarm sounded, Csapo evacuated by fire escape, then heard shots. He and others sheltered around the corner.

Area closed during response

Streets were closed, residents were told to avoid the area, and a shelter-in-place order was issued. The Secret Service, U.S. Marshals and U.S. Park Police responded. The Secret Service said no protectees were involved. The agency and FBI responded because they were near the scene, not because the incident was connected to the White House. A witness named Christine described the scene as chaotic and said there was no way out of the gym without passing it.
