A man who blamed his surgeon for ongoing pain after a recent back surgery bought an AR-style rifle hours before opening fire at a Tulsa medical office, killing the surgeon and three other people before fatally shooting himself, police said Thursday.
Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin says the gunman had recently undergone back surgery and had called a clinic repeatedly complaining of pain.
Franklin says the doctor who performed the surgery, Dr. Preston Phillips, was killed Wednesday, along with another doctor, a receptionist and a patient.
“We also have a letter on the suspect, which made it clear that he came in with the intent to kill Dr. Phillips and anyone who got in his way,” Franklin said. “He blamed Dr. Phillips for the ongoing pain following the surgery.”
Authorities said the gunman carried a rifle and handgun during the shooting at the medical building on a hospital campus, the latest in a series of deadly mass shootings across the country in recent weeks.

Nope. In many States you can drive to the gun store and be back out the door with a new firearm in an hour or less. This is true of much of the West, Mid-West and South.
“Freaking government needs the hell out of health care ...”
100% correct, and one reason, imo, for the fentanyl problem.
[[AR-style rifle]]
In other words, it wasn’t an AR “weapon of war”, and just looked like one. . Looks don’t kill.
Freaking government needs the hell out of health care...
***********
The government is into everything. It either regulates, controls, taxes or otherwise influences every aspect of our lives now.
If you think about it we are a republic in name only.
Why are you sliming the doctor as a quack? Were you a patient of theirs or have personal knowledge of their practice? or do just get of on denigrating the dead?
Yep.....obviously not a white guy.....we would have been told that immeditately.
A bad Yelp review might have been the better approach. Just saying.
“You get old, you get beat up and you will hurt”
And if you get vaxxed it’s a guaranteed double of that.
The last shot fire by the killer for the self inflicted wound was made after the police arrived. They found a lady hiding under a desk near the feet of the killer and is safe. The cops went in immediately - tons of them like D day
Knee Jerk reactions
From a Bankrupt spirit.

Bureaucratic Facists and
Lost Souls are colliding.
The press, in their effort to get an exclusive scoop on everything gets everything wrong.

They clicked on the wrong prepared story in the “Scoop Files” folder.
When taken AS PRESCRIBED, opioids have a very low, less than 2% addiction rate. Problem is people like how they feel, so,they take more and more, often mixing them with illegal drugs or alcohol, so addiction and deaths go up. Most deaths from legal opioids were from mixing either illegal drugs or alcohol or both at the same time.
Pain can drive folks crazy and no I’m not kidding
I don't think it's fair to call him a quack. Yes back surgeries often don't solve the problems associated with back pain. I personally had back surgery 21 years ago. I was in severe pain and was actually in danger of permanent nerve damage and paralysis. I often do have back pain now, but it's not anywhere near what it was before surgery. I can walk and am not an invalid.
Mayhaps, people would have more faith in medical personnel, and the health care industry in general, had they not been complicit in foisting the last 2 years on the world. As a whole they lied to people about COVID and how to treat it and took part in killing thousands of people by toeing the party line and not speaking out, out of fear of losing their licenses and livelihoods.
Go ahead defend your professions behavior, and "Oopsie, we made a mistake" ain't gonna cut it.
AR-15, AGAIN! We don’t have to ban ALL guns, just AR-15s. /s
Wait... didn’t we already try that?
Interesting
Where did you read that?
Too bad these insane people just don’t off themselves to begin with
