Police have confirmed one person has been killed in a shooting in Washington DC. Sky's News partner in the US NBC news reports that the gunman has also died. The police chief said the suspect barricaded himself in an apartment and officers who forced entry found him "suffering from a gunshot wound". Jeffery W Carroll said during a news update that the suspect was "contained", also telling reporters that police knew he had a handgun "at one point in time" and that it is unclear if there are other weapons involved in the alleged attack. He adds that the gunshot wound appeared to be "self-inflicted" and that negotiators heard a gunshot while "talking to him on the phone".
