KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A mentally ill gunman who killed a hospital worker and wounded two others Monday was upset with a doctor he thought had implanted a monitoring device during an appendectomy in 2001, police said Tuesday.
Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen IV said gunman Abdo Ibssa, 38, first sought the doctor who performed the appendectomy at Parkwest Medical Center. After being told the doctor wasn’t there, Ibssa went to another area and opened fire with a revolver.
He killed himself after shooting the three women, who work at the hospital.
