Abdulrahman Al-Bardisi holds his phone up to the camera: an emergency alert warns people to stay away from buildings in the Washington neighborhood where he is reporting. Behind him, armed officers move through cordoned-off streets.

The correspondent is covering a shooting near Logan Circle for Qatar-based Al Araby Television's news channel. In the November 12 live broadcast, he says gunfire began around 8:15 a.m. inside or near Vida Fitness, in the northwest Washington neighborhood.

At that stage, Al-Bardisi describes the incident as an active-shooter situation that police have not yet brought under control. He says the suspect is still attempting to fire at other people. Those statements describe the situation during the broadcast, rather than establish its subsequent outcome.

The footage follows tactical officers and U.S. Marshals as they move between street corners, confer and extend the security perimeter. Yellow tape blocks access, while a helicopter flies overhead. Al-Bardisi also reports the presence of city police, the FBI and National Guard personnel.

Several minutes into the report, he displays the emergency push notification and explains that its warning applies to the very area where he is standing.

The broadcast ends without a confirmed casualty count. Al-Bardisi cites preliminary media reports ranging from four to six injured people, while stressing that fatalities and the severity of injuries remain unconfirmed in this early account.
