2026-11-13
Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[Rudaw] Two people, including the suspected gunman, were killed and four others injured in a shooting on Thursday in a heavily secured area near the White House in Washington, DC, police said.

Rudaw’s Diyar Kurda, reporting from the scene, said the shooting occurred around 8:30 am local time in an area with a heavy police and National Guard presence, setting the incident apart from other shootings in the city.

The shooting took place near Logan Circle, about 1.2 kilometers from the White House. Jeffrey Carroll, interim chief of the DC Metropolitan Police, told reporters at the scene that “at this time we have located four individuals that were shot here at the scene and transported and one individual who is deceased here on the scene.”

Police said the suspected shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Washington's Metropolitan Police Department said on X that officers responded to an "ACTIVE SHOOTING" near 15th and P streets NW, with emergency response teams deployed to the scene and residents urged to avoid the area.
