Yesterday, four people were shot and killed in St. Francis hospital in Tusla, Oklahoma, after a man went on a violent rampage due to back pain from a recent surgery.

Michael Louis, 45, began opening firing in the hospital after he received back surgery on May 19th and began to complain that he still had back pain.

He had a follow-up visit on May 31st and returned the next day with a letter declaring his intent to kill the doctor who performed the surgery and ‘anyone who got in his way.’

The doctor, Dr. Preston Phillips, was a Harvard graduate who traveled across the world to provide medical care to poor children in third-world countries.
