WASHINGTON - CBS News reported that multiple people were shot in Logan Circle, a neighborhood in Washington, D.C., and that police were responding to the incident. The headline of the CBS News report attributes the account to authorities.

The Hill reported that four people were shot in the Logan Circle neighborhood early Thursday morning. The outlet said the shooting prompted a large police response and street closures in the nation's capital.

According to The Hill, the Metropolitan Police Department issued a critical alert saying officers were responding to an "active shooting" near 15th and P streets NW. The Hill's summary also refers to the department's Emergency Response Team, but the available text ends before it describes that team's role.

CBS News said residents were asked to "avoid the area" of 15th and P Street while police responded. The two reports differ on the number of people shot. The CBS News summary refers to multiple people without giving a count, while The Hill reported four.

The Hill's report was written by Finya Swai, according to the outlet's byline. The CBS News item available for this report did not list an author.

Neither the CBS News report nor The Hill's report, as currently available, describes the condition of the people who were shot, whether any arrests have been made, or what led to the shooting. Those details are not included in the reporting available at this time.
