Police in Washington were working Saturday to learn what motivated a man with "sniper-type" weaponry to shoot passersby from an apartment building, and to determine whether a graphic video the perpetrator apparently made during the incident is authentic.

They said they found him surrounded by a half-dozen firearms — long guns with scopes and at least one handgun — as well as considerable ammunition, and what appeared to be a "sniper-type" tripod. Police said the weapons appeared to have been purchased legally. "Unfortunately, tonight, I looked into the eyes of parents who were terrified, and they were terrified thinking of what might happen to their children," Mayor Muriel Bowser said late Friday.Police had earlier named Raymond Spencer, 23, of Fairfax, Virginia as a person of interest based on social media posts that seemed to link him to the carnage.
