ER Doctor Targeted by Former Fiancé in Chicago Hospital Shooting that Killed Four – Video

*We’ve got more info on the shooting at a Chicago hospital on Monday that left 4 people dead. The gunman, Juan Lopez, targeted his former fiancee, a doctor, who worked in the hospital’s emergency room.

While walking into Mercy Hospital, Dr. Tamara O’Neal was gunned down by Lopez, 32.

Witnesses recount seeing the doctor and Lopez  arguing in the hospital parking lot. When a friend tried to intervene, Lopez lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun.

Lopez shot O’Neal once, and when she fell to the ground, he “stood over her and shot her three more times,” said a witness named James Gray said.

Lopez went on to kill Chicago PD Officer Samuel Jimenez and pharmacy resident and fellow Purdue grad Dr. Dayna Less.

Lopez was found with a gunshot wound to the head. It’s not clear whether he killed himself or was killed by police, department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, calling it a “disturbing crime scene.”

Friends say Dr. O’Neal was “dedicated to her church” and she had “a heart of gold,” according to Chicago 5 News.

Colleagues described Dr. O’Neal as a hard worker who was tenacious and stood out among her peers. She showed leadership skills early in her training as a medical student at Southern Illinois University, and she was a volunteer and CPR trainer in Illinois Heart Rescue Project community outreach programs for underserved populations.

Purdue University issued this statement:

“We are proud of Tamara and Dayna for the lives of service they chose to pursue. We are deeply grateful and admiring of officer Jimenez for his sacrificial bravery that spared other innocent lives.”
