Tulsa hospital shooting suspect was hunting for back surgeon during deadly rampage: police

The man accused of killing four people at a Tulsa hospital Wednesday blamed his surgeon for his continued back pain, according to police.

Officials IDed the gunman Thursday as 45-year-old Michael Louis, who had undergone back surgery at the hospital on May 19, Chief Wendell Franklin announced at a press conference with the Tulsa mayor and hospital officials.

“We also have a letter on the suspect, which made it clear that he came in with the intent to kill Dr. Phillips and anyone who got in his way,” Franklin said. “He blamed Dr. Phillips for the ongoing pain following the surgery.”
