Boston hospital shooting incident left one of its prominent cardiac surgeons dead after sustaining a gunshot wound. He was shot by one of the patients, who, in turn, later turned the gun on himself.
The 44-year-old Dr. Michael J. Davidson, according to a statement given by Brigham and Women's Hospital, had succumbed to the wounds he sustained after undergoing major surgeries late Tuesday.
"Dr. Davidson was a wonderful and inspiring cardiac surgeon who devoted his career to saving lives and improving the quality of life of every patient he cared for," the hospital's statement read. "It is truly devastating that his own life was taken in this horrible manner."
According to the investigation, Stephen Pasceri, 55 years old, went inside the hospital before 11 a.m. and specifically asked to se Davidson. The Boston hospital shooting ensued when the doctor finally arrived just outside one of the examination rooms on the second floor of the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center. Pasceri shot him twice before taking his own life.
William Evans, the Commissioner of Boston Police, stated that the police, who conducted a room-by-room search for the lone gunman, found the culprit lying dead in an exam room with the weapon.
On a surprising turn of events, despite the fact that Pasceri had especially requested for Davidson, it appears that he was actually not one of the late doctor's patients. To date, the police still have not specified a motive for the Boston hospital shooting incident.
"We're in the process of talking to witnesses, but it's leading us to believe there was something in the past that upset this guy, that made him go in and look for this particular doctor," revealed Evans.
Lt. Donald Desorcy of the Millbury Police assisted the Boston Police Department in notifying Pasceri's family about the recent incident. "They say they were shocked. This was nothing they anticipated," Desorcy informed WFXT. "We've had no issues at all with the family themselves."
