One person has been killed and four others injured after a gunman opened fire in Washington DC.

The shooting began on Thursday morning local time inside a gym in an apartment building in the Logan Circle neighbourhood, which is about a mile (1.6km) north of the White House.

Police said the male suspect was "contained" after barricading himself in one of the apartments. They later confirmed he had died.

Of those injured, one is in a critical condition and the others have non-life-threatening injuries.

Authorities are still working to understand the exact timeline, suspect's motivation, and other details of the incident.
