State Police say it appears 34 year old Robert Scott Lambert of Tucker County was ready to shoot at them from every room of his house Tuesday night when they went to his home on Pierce-Benbush Road in  Thomas to arrest him on a murder warrant. Police believe he shot and killed his mother, 54 year old Marianne Lambert, in her Bridgeport home Monday night. State Police say they tried to contact Lambert for several hours on Tuesday, but he refused to answer the phone and did not respond to them when they arrived on the scene. Lambert came out of the house after troopers fired tear gas inside. Members of the State Police Special Response Team shot and killed Lambert by returning fire after he displayed two weapons and shot at officers. Troopers searched the house and found 13 weapons scattered in nearly every room. Police say it appears Lambert was ready for a long fight.
