The Washington, DC shooter who killed one and injured four others at a gym near the White House has been identified.
Dr. Matt Lambert reportedly targeted someone in the gym over an apparent real estate dispute before shooting four others.
He then killed himself before police could apprehend him.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, at least five were injured in the shooting, less than one mile away from the White House.

Per NBC 4:
The suspected shooter, who law enforcement just identified as Dr. Matt Lambert, targeted his first victim in the Vida gym on the east side of 15th Street NW, D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto told News4.
“We believe the suspect walked into Vida to target somebody that he had been in active litigation with, over a condo issue,” Pinto said. “It’s just so sad and so senseless to kill someone over a dispute that should be worked out reasonably.”
That victim is dead, Pinto added. She did not identify the victim, and police have also not shared the name of that person. News4 is working to learn more about the relationship between the suspect and the victim.
“The suspect, we think, in fleeing the scene, also shot others,” Pinto said. “We don’t know if that was random. It doesn’t appear to be as targeted as the initial shooting inside of Vida.”
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed this afternoon that “the White House has been briefed” on the incident.
Asked about the Trump Administration’s efforts to crack down on crime in DC, she appeared to lash out at Trump and take the credit for crime responses.
“Actually, I praise MPD for bringing down crime in the city, and I praise our prosecutors, and I am grateful,” she said, crediting local agencies for getting the situation “under control.”
