WASHINGTON — A video purportedly recorded by the alleged shooter while he opened fire in Northwest D.C. made the rounds on social media shortly after the incident that left four people wounded.
The suspected shooter apparently died by suicide while officers were entering a fifth-floor apartment Friday night where he had set up a "sniper-type setup" with a tripod, police said. Six firearms, including several long guns, and multiple rounds of ammunition, were found inside the apartment.
The 30-second-long video was posted to the message board website 4Chan under the same Raymond Spencer. Earlier Friday, police named 23-year-old Spencer of Fairfax, Virginia, as a person of interest in the shooting. In a news conference Friday night, DC Police Chief Robert Contee announced that the suspected shooter was found dead, did not give his identity pending family notification, but said that they had stopped looking for the person of interest.
