Documents show several red flags for clinic shooting suspect

By Doug Barrett Feb 11, 2021 | 8:52 AM

The man accused of opening fire at a Minnesota health clinic earlier this week, killing one staff member and wounding four others, shot two people in the clinic’s reception area before he entered the clinic’s interior and began firing at others one by one.  One person was shot while trying to run away and another who was shot six times. Gregory Paul Ulrich also allegedly set off two explosive devices during Tuesday’s attack at an Allina clinic in Buffalo.  He was charged Thursday one count of second-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree premeditated murder and other crimes.  His bail was set at $10 million, or $5 million under certain conditions, during a brief hearing held via video.

The suspect in the fatal shooting at a Minnesota medical clinic was able to enter the building despite threatening violence there two years earlier. Documents show Gregory Paul Ulrich also once posted a sign near his home about a doctor at the clinic he disliked and frightened a nurse at a nearby hospital so much that a colleague hit a panic button for help. Despite these red flags, authorities say the 67-year-old entered an Allina medical clinic northwest of Minneapolis on Tuesday and opened fire, killing one staff member and injuring four others before he was arrested. One security expert says it’s not clear whether police could have done more to prevent the attack.
