"Authorities say they know who they are dealing with and have identified the suspect."

Left wing nut feeling betrayed by the bills passing banning transgendered in sports or Right wing nut out for random LGBT violence or scorned partner looking for very public retribution? None of the above?

The suspect is being described as a "heavily built white male wearing gray shorts." Sounds like a gym member who had a beef with someone such as an ex.

I've been to Logan Circle and nearby Dupont Circle. Those are cool neighborhoods with great restaurants and bookstores.

This crime would have been prevented by snipers atop a 300 ' arch.

Probably some republicl0wn politico doing a GRNDR meet-up that went south. Most of D.C. Capitol Hill is in the gaybourhood.

Unpossible!

There is zero crime in DC.

And in only 12 days your town can be crime free just like DC!

Just ask Trumpy ...

"We've got no crime," Trump claimed. "It took 12 days to solve the problem. And we're going to do that in Chicago, we're going to do that in Portland."

The gym was in the apartment complex where the shooter lived. The shooter shot some people, then barricaded himself in his apartment, took some shots at cops, then shot himself, per Steve Lookner's breakdown of the DC police presser. According to Lookner, he may have had a beef with the HOA.
