The gunman involved in Thursday’s deadly gym shooting in Washington, D.C., has been identified by law enforcement sources as Dr. Matt Lambert, who had an apparent dispute with his homeowner’s association.
Lambert’s identity was confirmed by a pair of law enforcement officials and a source familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Authorities said the shooter opened fire around 8 a.m. inside Vida gym in D.C.’s Logan Circle neighborhood. One person was killed, and four others were wounded. The gunman was also killed.

Less than 10 minutes before the first calls about the gunfire came in, according to the AP, Lambert appeared to post “My manifesto is an engineering report” on an X account named “OfMiceandMold” with screenshots from that report.

The photos show the dispute between Lambert and the Metropole Condominium Association over problems like “mold” and “water intrusion” issues.
The account features numerous posts, photos and videos of alleged issues inside the apartment. In a post from the beginning of October, he called out his HOA for what he said were “months of ‘Luigi’ tactics” and mentioned submitting “an independent engineering report.”
The shooting is still under investigation.
