WASHINGTON - Police in Washington, D.C., responded to a shooting in the Logan Circle neighborhood in which multiple people were shot. ABC News reported that the Metropolitan Police Department was responding to an "active shooter," and it reported that four people were shot, citing sources.

The Guardian reported that multiple people were shot in north-west Washington on Thursday morning, and that local police confirmed the incident. The outlet said the shooting prompted a "barricade situation" in the area, which is at Logan Circle, one mile north of the White House. According to The Guardian, police warned people to stay inside and were looking for a suspect.

CBS News reported, citing officials, that at least five people were shot. It said a suspect was apparently barricaded after allegedly carrying out the shooting in the Logan Circle neighborhood.

The reports differ on the number of people shot. ABC News reported four, while CBS News reported at least five. The source reports do not identify which figure has been confirmed by police. The Guardian reported that a statement from the DC police was issued at 9.21am ET, but the portion of that statement available in its report was incomplete, so it is not clear from the sources what the statement said in full.

The sources do not give the names of any victims or the identity of the suspect. They also do not state whether the suspect remained barricaded at the time of the latest reports, and the reports do not describe the condition of those who were shot.
