WASHINGTON (AP) — Police say a gunman has killed a man at a Washington, D.C., gym before fleeing and shooting four more people in a scene that has rattled a popular neighborhood near the White House. The Metropolitan Police Department’s interim chief says the suspect later shot himself inside an apartment where he’d been speaking by phone to police negotiators. Mayor Muriel Bowser says she’s “devastated” at the loss of life in a “senseless act of gun violence.” The shootings occurred Thursday morning in Logan Circle, just north of the White House. A witness at the gym says people in its cardio area had to step over the dead victim’s body to get out.
