Four people were injured and one person died after a shooting in northwest Washington on Thursday morning, local police said.
In a Thursday afternoon press conference, police identified the suspect as Matt Wade Lambert (55), who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The victim was James Stuart (46), the building manager for the Vida Fitness gym in Lambertâs building, where he allegedly fired his handgun. After leaving the gym, Lambert continued firing from his apartment patio, police said.
Earlier Thursday, the police said the gunman had a âconflict [with] the homeowners association of that buildingâ.
Court records show that Lambert had been involved in a civil dispute with the association since March 2025, alleging that his unit had mold, moisture issues and water damage after repairs to the buildingâs facade. The association denied allegations of negligence in court filings, and the litigation was continuing.
Two men and two women were injured in the shooting and were transported to the hospital, police said. Among those who were transported, one is âdetermined to be in critical conditionâ and the others have non-life-threatening injuries. â Guardian
