New York: Doctor Opens Fire with Assault Rifle at Former Hospital

HeadlineJul 06, 2017

In New York, employees at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital remain in mourning, after a doctor killed one of his former colleagues and injured six others in a shooting rampage at the hospital on Friday. Dr. Henry Bello used an AR-15 assault rifle he purchased legally from an upstate New York gun store, even though he had a criminal record for unlawful imprisonment and left his hospital job in April over unspecified “personal problems.”
