Nurse fatally shoots co-worker at Philadelphia hospital

The 55-year-old nurse was wearing scrubs when he shot his co-worker on the ninth floor of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital just after midnight, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said at a news conference.

The co-worker, a 43-year-old man who was a certified nursing assistant, was later pronounced dead. It was unclear what sparked the shooting and investigators were looking into the histories of both men, Outlaw said. Police believe the shooting was targeted. After the shooting, the gunman left the hospital in a U-Haul box truck. A short time later, four officers were alerted to the suspect's location by a passerby near a school. Officers observed him wearing body armor, and he had several weapons including a rifle and a semi-automatic handgun, Outlaw said.

The gunman opened fire on the officers, and all four fired back, the commissioner said. Two officers were struck -- one suffered an elbow wound that will require surgery while the other was grazed on the nose. The suspect was shot in the upper body and neck, and was in critical condition but expected to survive. The officers' wounds weren't considered life-threatening.

She was probably stressed out.

What is going on in this world?Well, over population creates loneliness, a disconnect, raised by non family members, people who are not emotionally invested.Population of children that cannot have healthy relationships, cannot handle failure. Violence is part of the result.

That usually what happens when United States does NOTHING in regards to 2nd Amendment and guns laws. Just another day there. Doesn't happen elsewhere in the world... not even close.

I can't say it enough..what the hell is going on in this world....

Why as he in a hospital with a gun?
