## Summary

A Washington DC doctor accused of killing a manager at his condominium and shooting four other people reportedly confessed during a phone call with another building manager. Police said the shooting began on Thursday morning in Logan Circle, and the case has drawn attention to a dispute over the condition of the doctor’s home.

Police identified the suspect as 55-year-old Matt Lambert and the person killed as 46-year-old James Stuart. Police said Lambert shot Stuart in the building’s gym, then fired at four people from his balcony; one victim was in critical condition on Thursday. Lambert was later found dead in his apartment from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Court records show he had sued the condominium association in 2025 over alleged water damage and mould, claims the association disputed; the case was ongoing.
