What happened
- Building manager Charelle Ferguson said Matt Lambert confessed to Thursday’s Washington, D.C., gym attack during a phone call afterward and complained about mold and water damage in his condo.
- Police confirmed a sixth shooting victim, bringing the toll to one person killed and five wounded; the newly identified victim had a graze wound she treated herself.
- Police believe Lambert, a 55-year-old doctor, targeted his building manager, James Stuart, 46, while Stuart was working out at VIDA Fitness.
- Lambert had documented his maintenance complaints online for months and posted, “My manifesto is an engineering report,” on the morning of the shooting.
- Police believe the attack was linked to the maintenance dispute, but whether Lambert had ties to the other victims remained unclear.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets framed the emerging details around Lambert’s housing dispute and the shooting’s toll. The Guardian highlighted Ferguson’s account of his confession and complaints about living conditions. Al Jazeera led with police confirming a sixth victim, updating the toll to one dead and five wounded.
