Authorities identify VIDA Fitness shooter

Authorities have identified the man who they said killed one person and injured four others at the VIDA Fitness in Logan Circle on Thursday. NBC Washington cited police sources who identified the shooter as Dr. Matt Lambert, a board-certified emergency physician who lived in the Metropole on 15th Street, N.W. His professional website said he has “over two decades of clinical experience.” It lists previous work at Bellevue Hospital in New York and Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. “Dr. Lambert splits his time between the mountains of West Virginia and the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.,” his website states. Possible motive emerges Lambert was reportedly “in active litigation” with his building’s homeowners association, and killed the building manager while he was at VIDA Fitness, which is on the Metropole’s ground floor. Authorities confirmed Lambert died by suicide in a 7th floor apartment in the Metropole after the shooting.
