2. Not too surprised.

Johns Hopkins is in a really bad part of town.

3. What does being in a "bad part of town" have to do with this shooting?

Do you have any idea what was behind the shooting, other than conjecture that the hospital is in the hood?

:wtf:

5. Gunman is dead, shot by police. Just now on CNN.

The doctor is in serious but stable, non life threatening, condition.

6. "...Serious but stable, non life threatening, condition" means they located his insurance info.

Had he been uninsured, his condition probably would be listed as "treated and released."


Just sayin... :shrug:
