Four People Shot in Washington DC's Logan Circle Neighborhood, Police Say

Four people were shot in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC, early Thursday, police said, according to the Associated Press.

What happened

Police were responding to multiple locations in Logan Circle, about 1 mile north of the White House, police Officer Nathan Clarke said. No other details were immediately available, including the exact location of the shooting.

Police response

Police urged people to avoid the area of the 1500 block of 15th Street, which includes a VIDA fitness center, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and residences and is around the corner from a Whole Foods supermarket. Much of the block was cordoned off. Streets around the area also were blocked off during a massive police response to the scene. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said it sent agents to the scene to help.

Earlier report

The Washington Sun reported Thursday morning that D.C. police confirmed an active shooter at VIDA Fitness in the Logan Circle area. A D.C. police spokesperson described the situation as “fluid,” with no other details available as of 8:15 a.m. Police asked D.C. residents to avoid the area around 15th Street and P Street Northwest. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Emergency Response Team responded to the scene.

Background

In early August 2025, a onetime member of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency was assaulted early on a Sunday morning in the Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman, authorities said. Days later, Trump fulfilled his threat to bypass local authority and imposed direct federal control over the city, sending in hundreds of National Guard members to reduce crime. That deployment continues today.

Why it matters

The shooting occurred in a neighborhood within walking distance of the White House, and police said they were responding to multiple locations. The situation was developing, with limited details available.
