Two Dead, One Hurt In Clinic Shooting

"WEST PALM BEACH, FL — A dispute at a medical office turned fatal Thursday afternoon when a gunman killed one person, seriously injured another and then committed suicide, authorities said.

"Investigators believe the gunman was having a business appointment with a woman at Doctor’s Choice Medical Center on 4670 Forest Hill Boulevard around 4:30 p.m. Thursday when he got angry and shot her. He also shot and killed a man who was at the meeting but does not work at the medical office.

"Then the gunman shot and killed himself, said Teri Barbera, sheriff’s spokeswoman.

"`What we believe is that this individual knows these two people,` Barbera said. `He came in to have a business discussion with them, a personal business discussion. It got heated.`

"The woman was flown by Trauma Hawk to Delray Medical Center, said Capt. Albert Borroto, spokesman for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. Her condition was not known late Thursday.

"Investigators spent hours gathering evidence at the shooting scene, an older shopping center just west of Military Trail in suburban West Palm Beach, as nurses and other employees of the medical office looked on in horror. Many had fled the medical office as shots were fired."
