Nigerian-born doctor, Henry Bello, who shot seven people, killed one woman and himself, at a Bronx hospital, had blamed his colleagues for pushing him into what he did. The killer doctor had sent a chilling email to a New York newspaper just two hours before embarking on the deadly rampage. It was learnt the 45-year-old sent an email to the New York Daily News, blaming two doctors for terminating “my road to a license to practice medicine.”
An aggrieved Bello had used an AR-15 assault rifle in the attack on the 16th and 17th floors of the Bronx Lebanon Hospital last Friday around 2.45pm.
The family medicine physician, as he was described in the hospital’s website, said in the email: “First, I was told it was because I always kept to myself. Then it was because of an altercation with a nurse.”
It is gathered that the late Bello was forced to resign over sexual harassment accusations.
But in the email that was sent at 12.46pm, Bello said he was told his termination stemmed from him threatening a colleague.
Bello 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,” he wrote.
Bello also blamed another doctor for ruining his career, saying 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.
