Suspect in DC shooting that wounded 4 is dead, police say
The suspect in a
shooting in northwest Washington that wounded 4 people Friday afternoon has died,
Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said.
"The suspect, who we believe is responsible for what happened, has died," said
Contее "We believe the suspect committed suicide when MPD officers entered or penetrated the apartment where the suspect was."
Police aren't looking for another suspect, Contее said.
In the apartment where they found the suspect,
Contее said, police found 6 firearms, including
"several long guns, multiple rounds of ammunition, as well as handguns." The investigation is ongoing, he said, adding that at this point police have no motive for the shooting.
He said they don't believe there were other shooters besides the slain suspect, and are not sure of any connection between the suspect and the nearby
Edmund Burke School, a college preparatory school in
northwest Washington.
