The Story
Four people were shot early Thursday in the Logan Circle neighbourhood of Washington, D.C., about 1 mile north of the White House, police said.
Police did not immediately provide details including the exact locations of the shootings, according to Officer Nathan Clarke.
Officers urged people to avoid the area of the 1500 block of 15th Street, which includes a VIDA fitness centre, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and nearby residences, and is around the corner from a Whole Foods supermarket.
Much of the block was cordoned off, and schools near the scene were placed on lockdown. Streets around the area were also blocked off during a large police response.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said it sent agents to the scene to help.
