Disgruntled tenant shoots building manager dead, wounds four in Washington
WASHINGTON: A disgruntled tenant shot dead his building manager and wounded four other people in an upscale Washington neighbourhood on Thursday before killing himself, police said.
In Washington, D.C., a disgruntled tenant named Matt Lambert, 55, shot and killed his building manager before wounding four others in an upscale neighborhood on Thursday. The shooting took place about a mile north of the White House, triggering a massive police response. Police reported that Lambert had been involved in a dispute over maintenance with the condominium association for his apartment building.
He fatally shot the manager in a gym attached to the complex and then barricaded himself in his seventh-floor unit. From his balcony, he opened fire on people below, wounding four, one of whom was in critical condition. Lambert allegedly fired at police through his apartment door before taking his own life. The incident involved legal action over alleged lack of maintenance, with Lambert having posted about numerous grievances online.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser condemned the "senseless act of gun violence." The shooting during morning rush hour led to significant traffic disruptions and evacuations.
