WASHINGTON - Five people were shot early Thursday in Washington’s Logan Circle neighborhood, about one mile north of the White House, as police responded to an active shooter across multiple locations.
The shooting was reported around 8 a.m. near 15th and P Streets, according to police.
Officer Nathan Clarke said no other details were immediately available, including the exact locations of the gunfire or the extent of the victims' injuries, according to the Associated Press.
Authorities cordoned off much of the 1500 block of 15th Street and urged the public to avoid the area, which includes residences, a VIDA fitness center and St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and sits around the corner from a Whole Foods supermarket.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing.
