A disgruntled 45-year old Nigerian Family physician, Henry Bello who had apparently been laid off, opened fire on fellow doctors in Bronx-Lebanon hospital killing at least one before taking his life.
He hid an M-16 rifle under his ward coat wearing all black underneath before injuring at least six and killing a woman and taking his life.
Reports say he was given the quit notice likely before ending his residency program.
