Emergency physician Matt Lambert has been identified as the suspect in Thursday's shooting at VIDA Fitness in Washington DC that left one person dead and four others critically injured.

Approximately 50 people were exercising at the facility when the gunfire began. Police arrived within 30 seconds and found one victim dead at the scene.

Authorities are investigating a possible dispute involving Lambert and the Metropole condominium association. Court records show he sued the association in 2025, alleging water and mould problems had made his apartment unusable.

Following the shooting, Lambert barricaded himself inside his seventh-floor apartment. Officers negotiated with him by telephone for about an hour before hearing a gunshot from inside.

Council Member Brooke Pinto said preliminary information suggested the suspect had targeted someone at the fitness centre. The motive remains under investigation.
