The suspected gunman - a 19 year-old male - has not been apprehended and is considered "armed and dangerous," according to police.
White House officials say President Donald Trump has been briefed on the situation.
The shooting comes amid a fierce debate over guns that followed last month's deadly shooting at a Florida high school.
Congress is currently considering whether to enact tougher gun control measures, including expanded background checks, raising the legal age for buying guns, and a ban on bump stock devices that convert semiautomatic weapons to automatic weapons.
