DC shooting: Suspect in DC shooting that wounded 4 is dead, police ... (CNN)

The suspect in a shooting in northwest Washington, DC, that left four people wounded on Friday afternoon has died, DC Metropolitan Police Department Chief ...

The video uploaded to 4chan is incredibly shaky and has a red crosshairs in the center. An enclosed bridge between two school buildings is seen in the video -- an individual with a backpack appears in one frame -- before multiple gunshots are heard. Police are also investigating whether shots fired at a deli about half a mile down the street from the initial shooting location is connected. Individuals in the enclosed bridge are seen running. "It was like five shots and then stopped for like, one minute, and then four more, five more, and then again," Nicolido said. That individual's name has come to light as Raymond Spencer. He is a 23-year-old male," Emerman said at a news briefing earlier Friday. The investigation is ongoing, he said, adding that police do not have a motive at this point for the shooting. It was not known if Spencer is currently in the area. A girl is also being treated for a minor gunshot wound. "We believe that the suspect took his own life as MPD members were entering or breaching the apartment where the suspect was located." Spencer is not a suspect, Emerman cautioned. All three are being treated at local hospitals.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said on Twitter that it was helping the local authorities with the investigation of the shooting. But he said that the police were no longer looking for the person of interest. For hours after the shooting, dozens of police cars and emergency vehicles remained on Connecticut Avenue, with several blocks still closed to traffic. “This is the first time I’ve heard any like this,” she said. The Police Department advised those in the Cleveland Park and Van Ness areas to stay inside. At one point, she said, she saw about 30 officers swarm the building. She and her friends ran to her house nearby, where they waited for additional information, she said. Parents waited for their children outside the school. Mr. Spencer’s name emerged “based upon the things we have seen on social media,” said Stuart Emerman, assistant chief of the Metropolitan Police Department. The suspect killed himself as the police prepared to enter a fifth-floor apartment from which he had fired more than 20 rounds, the police said. Those injured in the shooting included three adults and a 12-year-old girl. She thought it was construction noise.

The suspected gunman was found dead Friday night inside an apartment at the scene as Metropolitan Police Department officers conducted door-to-door searches ...

Agents from the FBI arrived in an armored vehicle and the U.S. Secret Service said its officers were aiding police in the search and at the scene. The man was rushed by police helicopter to a local hospital and his condition wasn’t immediately known. A slew of law enforcement officials and emergency crews were sent to the scene. The gunman had posted a video of the shooting on 4chan, though police are still working to determine whether it was streamed live or recorded and then uploaded online, Contee said. Bugay said the university sent emails telling students to stay in place. In a tweet Friday, the college said there was an “active shooting incident near student housing.” Police in tactical gear were seen escorting people — including college students from nearby campuses — out of apartment buildings in the area. She said it sounded like the shots were coming from above and at a distance. As officers were approaching the fifth-floor apartment where the gunman was holed up, they believe he took his own life. The epidemic of gun violence, the easy access to weapons, has got to stop. The man had been “linked to social media postings” that emerged as part of the investigation, Assistant Police Chief Stuart Emerman said. The shooting was recorded and posted online on 4chan, an online message board.
