Hospital gunman ‘promised to come back’ and shoot former co-worker
New York Post ^ | July 1, 2017 | By Larry Celona, Shawn Cohen and Joe Tacopino

Henry Bello, 45 — who resigned amid a sexual-harassment scandalfatally shot a physician and wounded six other people with an assault rifle before killing himself, officials said.

“When he left he promised to come back and shoot one of the residents,” Dr. Maureen Kwankam told The Post about Bello.

“He said the resident will never graduate and become a doctor because he will kill him before he has the opportunity.”

Before he was canned, the deranged doc had threatened to harm at least four other people working at the hospital, Kwankam said.

He also called the resident once on the phone saying, “I’m gonna kill you,” sources said.

The resident, his intended target, was not working Friday.

Bello entered the hospital’s 16th floor looking for the resident when one physician noticed the AR-15 sticking out of his lab coat.

The doctor immediately started to run while screaming “Gun!” according to law-enforcement sources.

The gunman proceeded to shoot six people — three doctors, two med students and one patient — on the 16th floor. He then headed up one flight, where he fatally shot a 33-year-old doctor, the sources said.

So here’s another psycho who told people exactly what he was going to do. And nobody did anything about it.

Considering where the dead perp worked, finding a couple of docs should not have been a freaking problem.

With such a history, how and why was he hired in the first place?

"Henry Bello, 45, was arrested Aug. 28, 2004, in Manhattan following an incident in which a 23-year-old woman said an assailant grabbed her crotch, held her arms, lifted her up and carried her off, saying, “You’re coming with me,” law-enforcement sources said.

Bello was charged with sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment, sources said. The disposition of the case was unclear.

Bello was also busted in Manhattan on Oct. 9, 2009, but all records in that case are sealed, sources said."

He apparently lost his job there back in 2015.

“Bello, who last lived in the Bronx, had been forced to resign from his job as house physician at the medical center two years ago after he was accused of sexually harassing a co-worker.”

A threat like that should be taken as an actual attempt and dealt with accordingly. Hope all involved were democrats.

Good grief. I mean, some women might like a doctor like that [especially Clinton supporters], but they should most definitely be forewarned.

The veneer of civilization is thin and frayed. Sadly few are shocked these days when people for whatever reason go berserk and kill innocent people. Welcome to the amoral era of neo pagan crass epicurean decadence.

Interesting resume to be a doctor.

And then he became the exciting healthcare professional we have come to know.

Leftists secretly think that sex maniacs are exciting. Look at Bill Clinton and his wife, Tammy Wynette?

“Stand by yer man, if you know he’s a per-vert.”

‘Hope all involved were democrats.’

Oh I’m quite sure this doctor was a Bible-thumper through-and-through.

“When he was done shooting, Bello — who was carrying multiple jars of gasoline — set the 17th-floor nurse’s station on fire. The automatic sprinklers put the flames out.

He then barricaded himself in a room and used the AR-15 rifle to kill himself before crawling out to a hallway where police also found the doctor’s body nearby.

“There are several doctors who are fighting for their lives right now,” Mayor de Blasio said of the wounded victims.”
