Washington DC shooting: suspect confirmed dead after one person is killed and four injured – latest updates

Share On:

Summary

It is nearly 6pm ET in Washington DC where a shooting this morning left 4 people injured and one person dead. Here is a wrap-up of the day’s key events and details:

Police have identified the deceased victim as 46-year old James Stuart of northwest Washington DC. Police have also identified the suspect as 55-year old Matt Wade Lambert of northwest Washington DC, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
2 men and 2 women were injured in the shooting. One of the victims is in critical condition while the others have non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said that the victim killed inside of the gym was the building manager for that location. They added that they believe the shooting was related to the suspect’s grievances with the building’s management over maintenance issues.
The suspect broke the gas line inside his apartment fireplace, police said, adding: “We know he started a fire.” “There were fire flames that were visible on the outside of the apartment building. We also know that there was gasoline and potential other flammable materials that were inside of his apartment,” police said.
Three firearms were located inside the suspect’s apartment. Those were a shotgun, a rifle and a handgun – all of which were used by the suspect.
VIDA Fitness, the gym at which the shooting unfolded, remains closed until further notice and access to the facility remains restricted. “We are devastated by the tragic loss of life at our Logan Circle location earlier today,” the gym owners said.
The justice department has set up a website for victims impacted by the shooting. The website includes resources for victim service providers, law enforcement, first responders, and community and faith leaders responding to the shooting.

Key events

A vigil is expected to be held at some point for the victims impacted by this morning’s shooting, NBC Washington reports.

Meanwhile, an investigation remains underway into the suspect’s exact motives.

Joel Braithwaite,an attorney who previously represented in a civil matter the suspect involved in Thursday’s shooting, just held a press conference.

Braithwaite spoke of the suspect’s litigation with his apartment building’s management and said he was “at a loss for how things took any sort of turn that would have us here today.”

VIDA Fitness has issued a statement following this morning’s shooting, which it called “frightening and deeply unsettling.”

“We are devastated by the tragic loss of life at our Logan Circle location earlier today. Our deepest sympathies are with the family, friends, and loved ones of the individual who lost their life. Our thoughts are also with our members, employees, and everyone who was affected by this tragedy,” the gym owners said.

They added that although there is no longer an active threat, the gym’s Logan Circle location remains closed until further notice and access to the facility remains restricted.

“We do not yet know when members and employees will be able to retrieve personal belongings left inside the club. We will communicate that information as soon as it becomes available,” they continued.

Police also released details on those who were injured, including 2 men and 2 women.

One of the victims is in critical condition while the others have non-life-threatening injuries.

Police did not identify the individuals who were injured.

Suspect broke gas line in his apartment, police say

The suspect broke the gas line inside his apartment fireplace, police said, adding: “We know he started a fire.”

They added that they do suspect that there was “probably some level of accelerant” used.

“We do know inside the gym, he used a handgun. We do believe, based on the evidence on the scene this time, that he used the rifle from the patio balcony to shoot the other four individuals, and the shotgun was also used at the end of of the incident,” police said.

Police added that they have preliminary information that the suspect may have discharged the shotgun before he went into the VIDA gym.

Police found a shotgun, a rifle and a handgun in suspect’s apartment

Police added that they found three firearms located inside the apartment where the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The weapons included a shotgun, a rifle and a handgun, police said.

Police said that the victim killed inside of the gym was the building manager for that location.

“We do know that there has been an ongoing dispute between the suspect in this case and the building condo homeowners association management regarding maintenance issues, mold, and the like that there was a civil case that he filed against them. So we believe it’s related to that,” police said.

Police identify victim who was killed and shooting suspect
