A psychiatric outpatient opened fire Thursday inside a psychiatrist's office at a hospital near Philadelphia, killing his caseworker and slightly wounding the doctor, who shot the gunman with his personal firearm, authorities said.

The suspect, Richard Plotts, of Upper Darby, Pa., was reported in critical condition after the shooting at 2:20 p.m. in an office at the Mercy Wellness Center of Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan said at an evening news conference.

The unidentified 52-year-old doctor shot Plotts three times and suffered a graze wound when the suspect returned fire, Whelan said at an evening news conference. Two guns were recovered.

Another doctor and caseworker tackled Plotts in a hallway and held him until police arrived.

Only in america I guess.
 
Will give fuel to the pro-gun lobby for several decades I imagine.

eta: Kinda strange that a doctor would have a gun with him at work.

It is insane
But then if he hadn't been carrying he'd be dead and probably a few others:(
As blackadder would say " who'd notice another madman around here"

Much rather live somewhere its far from easy to get hold of a firearm and carrying one is illegal.
