One death was confirmed after a shooting on Thursday morning in the Logan Circle neighbourhood of Washington, where several people were also injured. The shooter was still barricaded inside a building and had not been arrested, according to police cited by Reuters.
Police officers in tactical gear, some equipped with rifles, were deployed around 15th and P Street Northwest, with dozens of police vehicles in the area. City council member Brooke Pinto said the shooting took place at the Vida fitness club, where several people were hit, according to Reuters.
The shooting follows the shooting at a gym in Washington, reported on 12 November 2026. Washington Metropolitan Police had then urged the public to avoid the area while emergency teams were responding.
