Police say the suspect in the November 12 shooting was found with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Separately, 1 victim was killed and 4 were injured; police have lifted the shelter-in-place order.
Washington police have confirmed that the suspect in the 12 November 2026 shooting was pronounced dead at the scene. They have lifted a shelter-in-place order issued for the immediate vicinity of the 1500 block of 15th Street NW.
Police said one victim was killed in the shooting, separately from the suspect.
Police said the barricade had ended and the scene was safe, but asked people to avoid the area while the investigation continues, The Guardian said.
Police identified the suspect as Matt Wade Lambert and the person killed inside the gym as James Stuart, the building manager. They said they believe the shooting was related to Lambert’s ongoing dispute with the building’s homeowners association management over maintenance issues, including mold, though his exact motive remains under investigation. Police said they recovered 3 firearms used in the shooting from Lambert’s apartment and that he broke a gas line in the apartment fireplace and started a fire.
