WASHINGTON — The gunman in Thursday’s Logan Circle shooting waited inside the fitness center for nearly an hour before he shot his building manager from behind without warning, D.C. police said, in new details reported by FOX 5 DC.
Surveillance video from inside the VIDA Fitness center in the 1500 block of 15th Street captured Dr. Matt Lambert, 55, walking up behind James Stuart, 46, around 8 a.m. Thursday and opening fire without speaking, Interim Police Chief Jeffery W. Carroll said, according to FOX 5 DC.
Police also gave new details about the sixth victim confirmed in the attack. The woman was near the gym when she suffered a non-life-threatening graze wound to her arm or elbow area, authorities said. She treated the injury herself, was evaluated at the scene and was not hospitalized. Where exactly she was when she was struck is still under investigation, police said.
After the gym shooting, Lambert went back to his two-story, seventh-floor condominium at The Metropole, above the gym, climbed an interior staircase to his patio and fired several rounds toward the street, police said.
Two of the other victims remained hospitalized, including one in critical but stable condition, police said. One hospitalized victim was shot in the alley area of the apartment building. Two other victims were working at a construction site in the 1400 block of Church Street, and another person was also struck in the Church Street area, according to police.
The apartment building is currently uninhabitable because of water damage and a lack of gas and electricity, and residents are coordinating with building staff to retrieve essential items, FOX 5 DC reported.
Mayor Muriel Bowser offered condolences to Stuart’s family, to those recovering and to everyone affected at the gym and the apartment building.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police at 202-727-9099 or text a tip to the department’s text tip line at 50411.
