US doctor kills building manager after long-running dispute over mould, police say
A doctor who had been in an ongoing dispute over mould and other issues at his Washington DC apartment fatally shot his building's manager and fired at four others before killing himself, police say.
A 55-year-old doctor named Matt Wade Lambert fatally shot his building’s manager, James Stuart, 46, in a Washington DC apartment complex due to an ongoing dispute over mould and maintenance issues, according to police. The shooting began inside a gym in the Logan Circle neighbourhood, located about a mile from the White House. Lambert barricaded himself in an apartment after the initial shooting and later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Four others were injured and rushed to local hospitals, with one in critical condition. Police believe the incident was related to a civil case Lambert filed against the building's management. The suspect had three firearms and flammable liquid containers in his apartment, suggesting some level of planning. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing smoke as they evacuated the building. Mayor Muriel Bowser described the act as a "senseless act of gun violence."
