Patient accused of shooting Conn. nurse recovering

[depakid]

Police in Connecticut say an elderly heart patient remains hospitalized under guard, charged with shooting a nurse who tried to wrest his gun away. Danbury police say 35-year-old nursing supervisor Andy Hull, of Bethel, was shot three times during a struggle Tuesday with 85-year-old Stanley Lupienski in Danbury Hospital's cardiac unit.

Hull remains hospitalized with injuries described as serious, but not life-threatening.

Lupienski is being treated for a gunshot wound to his leg, which police say he sustained during the struggle. He's charged with first-degree assault and carrying a revolver without a permit. A Danbury police captain says they are investigating whether Lupienski "may have had some psychiatric issues."

1. "Charged with ... carrying a revolver without a permit."

And this relates to lawful carry, how?

Maybe we should make it more double super illegal-er to illegally carry a revolver?

4. The supervisor nurse who was shot...

was trying to save the life of one of his subordinate nurses.
