Washington DC shooting live: Dr Matt Lambert named as suspect with two dead including gunman
A gunman has taken his own life in Washington DC after shooting five people close to the White House, killing at least one and leaving another in critical condition
A man who shot five people in Washington DC, killing one before barricading himself inside an apartment and taking his own life, has been identified as a doctor.
The shootings were reported in Logan Circle, around one mile north of the White House. Shots were fired inside a gym - Vida Logan Circle - with representatives for the business saying the premises will remain closed until further notice "following a shooting".
Police were negotiating with the suspect over the phone, after he barricaded himself in the apartment, when they heard a shot.
He has since been named as Dr Matt Lambert, 55, who had reportedly been in a long-running feud with Metropole Condominium Association, which operates the luxury residential tower on 15th Street near Logan Circle.
An X account believed to be linked to Dr Lambert complained of water damage and mold in the property. Its last post came at 8.06am local time, and stated: "My manifesto is an engineering report."
