Resident physician in Tulsa here. An orthopedic surgeon was the target and was killed.
Edit: from what I’m hearing through the grapevine, a second physician and the medical assistant were also killed.

| Quote: | Mayor GT Bynum posted the following statement on Facebook:
A great tragedy occurred tonight on sacred ground in our city. Please think of ways you can show all the health care heroes of Saint Francis Health System how our community loves and supports them.
Every day for decades they have been there to save lives. We will be there for them in the difficult days ahead.
I want to thank the first responders from a broad range of agencies - local, federal, state and tribal - who all came to the scene immediately today with no hesitation.
Seeing them work together as one team to protect those in danger was deeply moving. |

NPR: The Tulsa gunman's doctor was among those killed in Wednesday's mass shooting
| Quote: | Police in Tulsa, Okla., say the shooter's doctor was among those killed Wednesday during a mass shooting at a medical building. The shooter had complained multiple times about pain following back surgery and sought additional treatment in the days prior to the attack, police said.
The shooting on the campus of Saint Francis Health System left five people dead, including the gunman, according to police. Police said they believe the gunman, Michael Louis, shot himself. |
| Quote: | | At 2 p.m. Wednesday — hours before the shooting — the gunman purchased an AR-15-style rifle from a local gun shop, Franklin said. The shooter also purchased a semiautomatic handgun on May 29 from a pawn shop. |

The U.S. needs to do a lot concerning guns. A start would be banning assault weapons, and more extensive background checks to mention a few. Gun control has to move to the front or near the front of the line of priorities.

I got back problems, but I hope they never get THAT bad! And it's the kind of thing that makes me fear surgery. I have a somewhat herniated disc in my lower back. When I aggravate that thing, it's debilitating. Can't sleep in any comfortable position. Thankfully it only happens every few years, last time was in 2018 after a move. I was lifting a lot of crap, but the condition sneaks up out of nowhere, I usually notice it when I wake up. I was out of order for 10 days, foam back roll, hot showers, gingerly stretching, Rx tho even Norco 5s can't really touch that kind of pain. If I were ever furious while having a flare up like that one, I wouldn't wanna leave the house. Plot foiled.

Or maybe he wouldn’t have passed a background check. You at least try.
