Washington DC Shooter Identified as Dr Matt Lambert After Gym Gunfire Leaves One Dead and Four Injured

Investigators say the suspect had a long-running dispute with his condominium management, and one victim was killed while four others were wounded.

  • On Thursday, emergency physician Dr. Matt Lambert opened fire at VIDA Fitness in Logan Circle, killing one person and wounding four others before police identified him as the suspect.
  • Lambert, who owned a penthouse in the Metropole Condominiums, had been in active litigation since 2025 against the Metropole Condominium Association over alleged water and mold damage to his unit.
  • Before the shooting, Lambert documented grievances on an X account called OfMiceandMold, posting engineering reports and photos. He later barricaded himself in his seventh-floor apartment, dying of a self-inflicted gunshot after police negotiations.
  • Metropolitan Police Department Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll confirmed authorities recovered three firearms from the apartment. Nearby schools lifted lockdowns by 11:30 a.m. as investigators examined the connection between the shooting and the condo dispute.
  • Council Member Brooke Pinto described the tragedy as 'senseless,' as officials investigate whether the attack was targeted. The incident occurred amid 479 mass shootings nationwide in 2026, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker.
