Doctor identified as gunman behind deadly DC rampage, police say

What did you think?

Anthony Barone was at the gym when he heard the shot. "I just heard a loud bang out of nowhere," he tells ABC News correspondent Pierre Thomas in a report on the deadly shooting near the White House.

Building manager James Stewart was found shot dead inside the gym. Police say the gunman, identified as a doctor and technology executive, then fired from his apartment balcony, striking four other people.

The report brings together emergency dispatch audio, witnesses and the police account of how the attack unfolded. Interim Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffery W. Carroll says investigators believe the balcony was the location from which the four surviving victims were shot. Police later entered the apartment and found the suspect dead. They also reported a fire inside.

ABC's short report drew roughly 678,000 views in its first day, far beyond the channel's usual audience for Shorts. But the central detail is the disruption of an ordinary morning: people had come to the gym to work out when the shooting began.

Thomas also reports on a long-running dispute between the suspect and his condominium association over living conditions. ABC followed with a separate report examining possible motive, rather than presenting the dispute as an established explanation for the attack.
