    It appears to be "workplace violence", not terrorism as the shooter is believed to be an ex-employee.Possibly a doctor.

    At least 3 doctors shot.

    He said: "I can walk through the back door with an employee. If the employee opens the door, I can walk in. I think every hospital should have one police officer at each entrance. They only ever do something when something happens."

    :rofl:

    why is my bill so high???

    well sir we have to station 57 officers 24 hours a day to guard the doors. That is expensive.

    i I bet there are more hospital doors than police officers in most cities.

    Doctor Killed, 5 Wounded in NYC Hospital Shooting; Gunman Dead: Police | NBC New York

    more information here. "assault style rifle"

    he was an FP doc who was allowed to quit rather than be fired in 2015. Seems like a bit of a delay. Wonder what changed. Six shot. A female doc was murdered. Guy tried to set himself on fire then they found him dead with GSW to head

    The delay could be due to gun laws in NY and the time it takes to get the gun?

    I've seen reports of people stabbed as well earlier but now can't find anything about that.
    They mentioned a fire too.I guess it's the fire you mentioned.

    New York hospital: Ex-employee opens fire in Bronx - BBC News
    "Police said the suspect was wearing a white medical coat when found. An assault rifle was also discovered nearby, which a local politician separately said appeared to be a military-grade M16 rifle."

    Turns out it was a SAFE Act compliant firearm; BREAKING: NY Hospital Shooter Used NY Legal AR-15 - The Truth About Guns

    So not an "assault weapon" and certainly not an M16

    They couldn't get it right, if you put the gun brand/model/name/type on a paper right in front of them.

    I found that quote in BBC article.Apparently it's from the fiancé of an employee of the hospital.
    I was wondering who was being that moronic statement.

    They only ever do something when something happens

    And is this part of the quote about the police? :scratch:

    and he did not have one of those silly looking ARs. A pic in this story shows his standard issue AR

    http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york...x-lebanon-hospital-shooting-article-1.3291797

    Looks like a funny SAFE Act compliant gun to me. It does have what Looks to be a collapsible stock, but no pistol grip and a 10 round mag.

    Notice what else is missing?

    The gun doesn't have any sights on it.

    Wait for the shreiking from the gun control groups... "See! AR-15s are so deadly, you don't even need sites to mow down a bunch of people."
