Police say two people have been killed in a shooting at a gym in Virginia.
According to Alexandria police, officers responded to the shooting at OneLife Fitness, a gym and health club in southwest Alexandria, around 4 p.m. Saturday. Two people, including the alleged shooter, initially suffered life-threatening injuries and were taken to the hospital, police said.
Both the male victim and the suspected shooter were pronounced dead by police Saturday night. OneLife Fitness said neither man was an employee of the gym.
According to local news sources, there were about 60 people inside at the time of the shooting, who fled through the front and back exits of the building.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred at our Alexandria location on Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the people involved,” OneLife Fitness said in a statement.
The cause of death for both men will be determined by the medical examiner’s office, police said. The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on what led to the shooting.
Alexandria police are investigating the shooting.
