4 people shot in DC, suspect took his own life as cops closed in

A crazed gunman allegedly shot three adults and a girl in a leafy section of Washington, DC, on Friday afternoon before taking his own life hours later as police closed in on the apartment where he was suspected of carrying out the attack, authorities said.

The suspect allegedly erected a “sniper-type setup” inside his fifth floor apartment and fired indiscriminately at passers-by at about 3:20 p.m. on Van Ness Street near Connecticut Avenue in the Northwest section of the city, police said.
