A shooting in Washington, DC, left one person dead and four others injured, police said, in an incident that The Guardian reported had shifted from an active-shooter response to a barricaded-subject situation.
The Guardian’s live coverage said police confirmed the casualty toll and said the suspect was contained after suffering a gunshot wound. The suspect’s condition had not been confirmed in the information available through the RSS summary.
A federal law enforcement official told NBC News, cited by The Guardian, that authorities no longer believed they were dealing with an active shooter in the immediate sense but with a barricaded subject. The same official said investigators did not believe anyone else was inside at the scene, meaning it was not being treated as a hostage situation.
The summary also said it had been about 90 minutes since the suspect fired at law enforcement officers, without hitting anyone.
That is enough to establish a grim fact and not much more: a deadly shooting, several people hurt, and a police operation still unresolved. It is not yet enough to say what led to the attack, whether the dead and injured were targeted, or how the suspect was wounded.
