Sixth victim confirmed in DC condo-related shooting in US, police say
Police say a sixth person was shot in an attack at a Washington, DC, gym and nearby condominium, bringing the toll to one person killed and five wounded. Investigators believe the gunman targeted the building manager amid a dispute over maintenance problems, raising questions about how a private conflict escalated into an attack on residents and others nearby.
The sixth victim, a woman, had a non-life-threatening graze wound and treated herself; four other wounded people were taken to hospital. Police say building manager James Stuart, 46, was killed at the gym, while suspect Matt Wade Lambert, 55, later fired from his seventh-floor apartment and died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The episode lasted less than five minutes; police found three firearms, and court records indicate Lambert had sued over mould, moisture and water problems.
