The gunman then crossed the street, got into his car, and shot and killed himself.
Police investigators, relatives and co-workers of the dentist, David Gong of San Francisco, were at a loss to understand why the 44-year-old patient killed him. They said the gunman, identified as Hailu Abje of San Francisco, had gum problems and had gone to Gong for treatment, but no one knew of any trouble between the two men.
Abje, an Ethiopian immigrant who was also known as Hailu Sudike, had no criminal record. Police said the only explanation they could come up with for why he opened fire at Jackson and Polk streets shortly before 8 a.m. was that he held Gong responsible for his dental problems.
"This guy's got really bad teeth and really bad gums," said Inspector Karen Lynch of the homicide detail. "I think he decided (Gong) was the source of the problem.''
She added, however, that "there really was no sign he held a grudge in particular against this doctor. ... There was nothing out of the ordinary."

And I thought I hated dentists.
Dentistry: now that's drama.
Perhaps Abjad got something besides bad dental care from the late doctor...

JERRY: So you won’t believe what happened with Whatley today. It got back to him that I made this little dentist joke and he got all offended. Those people can be so touchy. KRAMER: Those people, listen to yourself. JERRY: What? KRAMER: You think that dentists are so different from me and you? They came to this country just like everybody else, in search of a dream. JERRY: Kramer, he’s just a dentist. KRAMER: Yeah, and you’re an anti-dentite. JERRY: I am not an anti-dentite! KRAMER: You’re a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. “Hey, denty!” Next thing you know you’re saying they should have their own schools. JERRY: They do have their own schools! KRAMER: Yeah!....
prolly an insurance thing; dentist told him he couldn't see him w/o insurance so the creep got his 'revenge'.
Whodathunk being a dentist would be dangerous.
Aw, well, I'm sure this guy's lawyer will use the insanity defense.
WE. MAKE. HOLES IN TEETH.
"Looks like he's using a snub-nosed .44 today."
"No, don't you see the clip? Definitely a Beretta."
"Ah, yes -- deranged killers have been favoring those lately."
This shows a real lack of Wisdom...

I never knew there were other Murphy's Law fans on this site.
When I read the article my first thought was that the good Dr. from San Fran passed on AIDS or something.
Yeah, sure...Blame an American for his lousy teeth and gums that no doubt were caused by chewing khat. Get these @%!$%#&#-ers out of our country!
But I dont want to make toys, I want to be a dentist.
Obviously not an aggie, or he'd have shot himself 1st, the doctor second.
