On Thursday morning, a gunman identified as Dr. Matthew Lambert, an emergency medicine physician, killed one person and wounded four others in and around his residence in Washington, D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood. The shooting began before 8 a.m. at VIDA Fitness, located on the ground floor of the Metropole complex. Police report that Lambert fatally shot the building's manager, James Stuart, before returning to his seventh-floor apartment and firing at people on the street from his balcony. After a nearly hour-long standoff with negotiators, Lambert died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators stated the attack appears to have been motivated by a long-running dispute between Lambert and the building's homeowners association over maintenance issues, including water leaks and mold.
