“He killed himself”
The attacker spoke to police on the phone while barricaded in his apartment and “at one point” told NBC News the acting chief of the Washington Metropolitan Police Department “the officers heard a gunshot and the man stopped communicating with them”.
The officers broke in and found the killer lifeless. The Vida Fitness gym where the shooting occurred is temporarily closed and will remain closed “until further notice.” Police believe the suspect had a dispute related to the condominium. “We know there was a conflict between him and the building’s owners’ association, but we are currently continuing to look into the matter,” police added.
