Deadly Shooting in Busy Washington, D.C., Neighborhood

So what we know is just before 8 o’clock this morning, a call came in for the report of a shooting in the 1500 block of 15th Street, inside of a gym. The suspect had barricaded themselves in an apartment on the seventh floor of that building. Our negotiators, with their emergency response team, were also able to make contact with the suspect inside the apartment. They’ve been talking to him for over the past hour, again attempting to try to resolve the situation. Just moments ago, while communicating with that individual, officers heard a gunshot. As a response to that, officers forced entry into the apartment. When they did that, they located the suspect suffering from a gunshot wound.
