Four others were injured, one critically, and police suspect the gunman planned the attack before killing himself.
A doctor shot and killed an apartment manager in Washington DC after a long dispute over mold and building maintenance, then died of what police believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Thursday morning local time. The victim was James Stuart, 46, the building manager in the Logan Circle area. Four other people were taken to hospital, and one was in critical condition. Police identified the gunman as Matt Wade Lambert, 55, a resident of the building. According to the Washington DC Metropolitan Police, the shooting began in the building's fitness center, then Lambert barricaded himself in his apartment and fired toward officers through the door. Police also found three firearms and flammable liquid in his unit. Investigators said there were signs of planning and linked the attack to Lambert's civil lawsuit against the building's management.
