The doctor who shot seven people, killing one woman, before turning the gun on himself at a Bronx hospital, sent a chilling email to a New York newspaper just two hours before the deadly rampage.
Dr Henry Bello used an AR-15 assault rifle in the attack on the 16th and 17th floors of the Bronx Lebanon Hospital on Friday around 2.45pm.
About two hours before the deadly shooting, the 45-year-old sent an email to the New York Daily News blaming two doctors for terminating ‘my road to a licensure to practice medicine’.
Bello, who was described on the hospital’s website as a family medicine physician, wrote: ‘First, I was told it was because I always kept to myself. Then it was because of an altercation with a nurse.’
On Friday evening it was revealed that Bello had been forced to resign over sexual harassment accusations.
However, in the email that was sent at 12.46pm, Bello said he was told his termination stemmed from him threatening a colleague.
He said he then sent an email to that colleague ‘congratulating her for my termination after she sent out an email to everybody telling them to file complaints against me so I can be terminated for being rude to her’.
‘I only said in the email, it remains to be seen if my life is meaningless or disposable,’ Bello wrote.
Bello then blamed another doctor for ruining his career, adding that the doctor ‘blocked’ him from getting his medical permit despite him pouring $400,000 of his money into the hospital and the family medicine department.
