Police: Doc hunted ex-colleague before shooting rampage

From the Associated Press and posted by our media partner at WOOD TV:

NEW YORK (AP) — A portrait of an angry doctor seeking revenge on the medical professionals he believed turned their backs on him emerged Saturday as a New York hospital began to recover from his assault-weapon rampage that left one doctor dead, another critically injured and four staff members and a patient wounded.

Dr. Henry Bello aired his complaints against his former workplace in an email purportedly sent to the New York Daily News about two hours before he returned to Bronx Lebanon Hospital on Friday and pulled an  AM-15 assault rifle from under his white lab coat, opening fire before turning the gun on himself.

Bello had warned his former colleagues two years ago that he would return someday to kill them after he was forced to resign amid sexual harassment allegations.

“This hospital terminated my road to a licensure to practice  medicine,” the email said. “First, I was told it was because I always kept to myself. Then it was because of an altercation with a nurse.”

He also blamed a doctor for blocking his chances at practicing medicine.
