Shooting near the White House: 5 people were injured, the shooter escaped.
There was a shooting in the Logan Circle area of Washington. Five people were injured, the Associated Press reports, citing the police.
The shooting happened early Thursday morning (afternoon in Moscow), November 12, about 1.6 km north of the White House. According to police, law enforcement officers responded to reports of incidents at several addresses. The shooter has not yet been caught.
A large part of the block where the shots were fired is blocked off, and the traffic in the nearby streets is blocked.
Schools near the scene of the incident were placed in isolation mode. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were dispatched to assist the police.
The Logan Circle area was already in crime reports in August 2025: then a group of teenagers tried to steal a car from a former employee of the Department of Government Efficiency of the Trump administration and his friend, and beat the man.
A few days later, Trump introduced federal control in Washington, overriding local authorities, and sent hundreds of National Guard troops to fight crime. Their presence in the city continues to this day.
