Police said Thursday that the gunman who killed his surgeon and three others in Tulsa’s office had bought an AR-style pistol just hours before the shooting, blaming the doctor for the prolonged pain after the back surgery.
Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin said the man, who had repeatedly called the clinic to complain of pain, specifically attacked the surgeon and committed suicide when police arrived.
The doctor, along with Preston Phillips, Dr Stephanie Hussein, receptionist Amanda Glenn and observer William Love were killed Wednesday, police said.
The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a St. Francis health system facility in Tulsa. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a U.S. military base, police said.
It is the latest in a series of mass shootings in the United States, including a school shooting in Waldow, Texas, and an attack on a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. On the latest Memorial Day weekend, there were several massive shootings across the country, including one at a garden festival in Taft, Oklahoma, 45 miles from Tulsa.
Louis took a letter saying he was going to attack Phillips, Franklin added.
The police chief said in the letter that “it was clearly stated that he had come with the intent to assassinate Dr. Phillips and someone else.” “He blamed Dr. Phillips for the prolonged pain after his surgery.”
Franklin said Phillips underwent surgery on May 19 and Louise was released from the hospital on May 24.
He said he called the doctor’s office “several times a day” to report that Lewis was still in pain and saw Phillips for “additional treatment” on Tuesday. Louis called the office again Wednesday, asking for “back pain and additional support.”
Michael Lewis’ address and phone number in Muscovy were down on Thursday.
The 59-year-old Phillips was an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgery and joint reconstruction, according to a profile on the clinic’s website.
According to Tulsa World newspaper, he was the head doctor of the WNBA basketball team in Tulsa until the franchise left the state.
