The gunman’s wife was a terminally ill patient who was hospitalized in critical condition at the hospital.
Details from the initial investigation indicate the man came to visit his very sick wife in the neurosurgical unit at the medical center. He pulled out the gun and shot her at close range, and then killed himself with the same gun.
