Three shot dead in Chicago

Published November 21, 2018

CHICAGO: A man fatally shot his ex-fiancee outside a Chicago hospital and two other people inside the building on Monday. The shooter himself died later.

Juan Lopez’s first victim was Dr Tamara O’Neal, to whom he had been engaged. O’Neal had recently called off their engagement, and Lopez confronted her about returning the engagement ring, police said.

After shooting the emergency room doctor near a hospital parking lot, the gunman ran into the medical centre, where he continued firing.

The gunshots killed a police officer and a pharmacy resident, authorities said.

Lopez had a permit to possess a concealed firearm, but it was unclear if officials knew about a 2014 complaint when the permit was granted.
