[New Channel Now] shooting took place in Washington, the capital of the United States, leaving one dead and four wounded. He later swallowed the gun and died.
The police cordoned off the place after receiving the report. Authorities said the gunman entered the fitness center about 1.5 miles north of the White House on Thursday morning and shot and killed one person. The gunman then opened fire nearby, injuring four others, and returned to his home to confront the police. While the police were negotiating with the gunman on the phone, shots were heard at the scene. The police broke into the house and discovered that the shooter had swallowed a gun and eventually died of his wounds.
The Associated Press reported that the gunman was a doctor named Lambert. He sued the building's management last year due to leaks and mold in his residence. Police are investigating his motive for the crime.
The mayor of Washington in Osir described the incident as a pointless incident of gun violence and said the White House had received a notice of the incident.
