Police confirmed that a livestream circulating on social media that appeared to show the terrifying incident from the shooter’s perspective had in fact been filmed by the gunman.

A suspect in shootings that left four people wounded in Washington, D.C., on Friday was found dead of suicide in an apartment, along with an arsenal of weapons, a sniper-style setup, and a large quantity of ammunition, authorities said.

It appears the suspected gunman—whose name had not been officially released by authorities—livestreamed the terrifying incident, filmed from his perspective, on social media.“It just appears that this person was just shooting at anyone who was out there randomly.” The terrifying drama unfolded Friday afternoon near the Edmund Burke private prep school and the University of the District of Columbia.

Police say two women, a man, and a 12-year-old were wounded by bullets. In the hours after, authorities said they were searching for a person of interest: Raymond Spencer, 23, of Fairfax, Virginia. “We believe that the suspect took his own life as MPD members were entering or breaching the apartment where the suspect was located,” Contee said.
