One person was killed and four others injured in a shooting at VIDA Fitness in Washington DC's Logan Circle neighbourhood on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

Metropolitan Police Department interim chief Jeffery Carroll said the suspect later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

After the shooting, the suspect barricaded himself inside a seventh-floor apartment, prompting more than an hour of negotiations. Authorities said the alleged gunman had a dispute with the building's homeowners association.
