A 29-year-old bank executive from Los Angeles was one of three people killed by a lightning strike right beside the White House last week. Brooks Lambertson, a VP at City National Bank, was killed when the bolt struck a tree in Lafayette Park around 7pm, just across Pennsylvania Avenue from the fence surrounding the White House lawn. Lambertson, who worked for his employer's partnerships team, was in DC for business at the time of his death. An elderly couple, James and Donna Mueller, 76 and 75, who were visiting the capital for their 56th wedding anniversary were also killed by the bolt. They hid under a tree during a summer storm which was subsequently hit by a bolt of lightning, with that flash caught on camera. A fourth person, a female, was also critically injured in the strike. Her condition remains unknown. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11089251/LA-bank-executive-29-named-person-died-lightning-strike-close-White-House.html
