One dead, four wounded in Washington DC gym attack
A shooting at a fitness gym in northwest Washington DC on Thursday morning left one person dead and four others injured, according to local police.
As irishtimes.com reports, police identified the suspect at a Thursday afternoon press conference 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 located in Lambert's residential building.
Lambert allegedly opened fire with a handgun inside the gym before continuing to shoot from the patio of his apartment, police said. Earlier that day, officers had described the gunman as having a "conflict [with] the homeowners association of that building."
Court records show Lambert had been engaged in a civil dispute with the association since March 2025. He had alleged that his unit suffered from mould, moisture issues and water damage following repairs to the building's facade. The association denied allegations of negligence in court filings, and the litigation was ongoing at the time of the attack.
Two men and two women were injured and transported to hospital. One of those wounded is "determined to be in critical condition," police said. The remaining three sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
