The tragedy here is that innocent hard working people were gunned down at work for no logical reason. Sick people die in the ICU everyday and it is usually not the fault of a nurse. His mother sounded as if she was in poor health as it was and he is looking for someone to blame. Maybe leading a healthy lifestyle of a good diet and regular exercise can help avoid situations such as these. As a physician i think that all public facilities may now need metal detectors and personal searches before anyone is admitted as a solution to not be killed at work.

Brenda..I think you need to read before you post anything. The writer said "several years ago." He doesn't have to post an exact date and it was several years ago. Go back to your trailer.
