Onetime Bush doctor is gunned down riding bicycle to hospital where he worked

A cardiologist who once treated former President George H.W. Bush was gunned down Friday morning while riding his bicycle through Houston’s Texas Medical Center.

*snip*

Hausknecht was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. Finner said he was hit at least once.

The area where the shooting took place is part of a 1,345-acre complex of hospitals and medical institutions, including the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and is teeming with traffic and pedestrians during the day.

Hausknecht was going to work at Houston Methodist Hospital when he was shot, the hospital's CEO said in an email to staff.

*smip*

Police are still trying to determine if the shooting was random or a targeted act.

“All y’all nut wings sure are quick to jump”

So what do you think was the killer’s motive?

Nothing in this incident is compatible with the theory of a gangbanger in any way.

Investigators believe the gunman was following behind the doctor for two blocks before shooting him.

The suspect is described by police as a man about 30 years-old, light skinned possibly white or Hispanic, clean shaven with a slim frame.

They believe he was wearing a tan cap, sunglasses and khaki shorts.

He went to Cornell. Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg went to Cornell a lot of years before him. The author of Lolita taught at Cornell and studied butterflies. Melania wore a butterfly on her belt the other day. The author of Lolita was Russian. I can do this conspiracy brain storming that means absolutely nothing all night long. hahaha.

But I don’t think this heart surgeon has anything to do with Russia or butterflies. :-)

It’s 100 degrees in Houston. Awfully warm to be wearing a warm up jacket and riding a bike.

Since the police have no facts why jump to a conclusion

You appear incapable of thinking.. If you weren’t such a jerk, I’d feel sorry for you.

Just because I don’t jump into your conspiracy driven world doesn’t mean I’m not a thinker

Why not wait for more information?

Yes, I appear to be quite mistaken in my initial assumption. When you see hoof prints you normally think "Horse", but sometimes it's a Zebra.

This one appears to be a Zebra.

This is what I get from posting before I read past the headlines.

And I would imagine, in this day and age, a decent network of CCTV cameras, perhaps?

And if there is such a network, I’m pretty sure it was down for scheduled maintenance on the date and time the assassination took place.

Kind of the way that all Police/Fire/EMS radio system collapsed during the school and airport shootings. Imagine that?
