Deadly hospital shooting in Chicago (BBC)

A doctor, a newly graduated pharmacist and a police officer were killed after a gunman opened fire at a hospital in Chicago, police say.

The gunman was seen arguing with the doctor, Tamara O’Neal, who he had been in a relationship with, before shooting her and turning his gun on others.

The shooter, who has not been named, also died but it is not clear if he was killed by police or took his own life.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the attack “tears at the soul of our city”.

“It is the face and a consequence of evil,” he said, adding that the three victims were “all going about their day, all doing what they loved”. Read more
