WASHINGTON, D.C. (LOOTPRESS) – A West Virginia native has been identified as the gunman in a deadly shooting at an apartment building in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, November 12.
Dr. Matt Lambert, a native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, opened fire inside a gym at an upscale apartment building in Washington’s Logan Circle neighborhood Thursday morning.
At least one person was killed in the shooting.
Following the shooting, Lambert reportedly returned to his apartment and barricaded himself inside. Police negotiators attempted to communicate with him for approximately an hour.
Lambert was later found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to reports, Lambert was a board-certified emergency physician who divided his time between Washington, D.C., and West Virginia.

The shooting remains under investigation.
