Summary
About 50 people gathered Thursday night in Logan Circle for a vigil after the morning shooting killed Metropole building manager James Stuart, 46, and injured four others.
Police said 55-year-old Dr. Matt Lambert targeted Stuart at Vida Fitness around 8 a.m. amid a longstanding dispute over alleged mold, moisture and water damage in Lambert's condo.
Investigators said Lambert then returned to his seventh-floor unit, fired from the patio and hit four people—one critically—before barricading himself, shooting at officers and starting a fire.
After more than an hour of failed negotiations, tactical officers entered and found Lambert dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound; three firearms were recovered.
The attack also displaced Metropole residents after the building was shut down, with neighbors, businesses and family members helping house those forced out.
