Interim D.C. police chief Jeffery Carroll said the gunman had opened fire at a Vida Fitness gym near the intersection of 15th and P streets NW before barricading themselves. The gunman spoke to police for more than an hour, fired shots through the apartment door and then turned the gun on himself, Carroll said.
