The doctor who gunned down his building manager at a luxury Washington DC condo made an eerie confession just moments after he committed the massacre.

Dr Matt Lambert, 55, fatally shot James Stuart, 46, in the back inside the Vida Fitness in Logan Circle at around 8am on Thursday. Four others were also left injured.

The gunshots were heard by Charelle Ferguson, a building manager for the Metropole condos, who told the Washington Post she then saw people screaming and running away as one bystander yelled: 'Somebody was shot in the head.'

At that point, Ferguson ushered panicked residents into her office and began calling everyone she knew who lived there – including Lambert, who picked up at around 9am.

She then asked whether he was OK, and the doctor replied that he was tired of the mold and water damage in the unit, which he said rendered it unlivable.

'The only way people will pay attention, you have to do something,' Ferguson remembered him saying.

He then confessed to shooting five people, including one of her co-workers, Stuart, Ferguson said.

'I couldn't believe what I was hearing,' she said. 'I tried to calm myself down and get as much info from him as I could and keep him on the phone.'
