This broke local news. http://www.ketv.com/news/local-news...an/-/9674510/20988474/-/101ucojz/-/index.html

A 40yo former pathology resident who was fired from his Creighton University residency in 2001 apparently took a revenge on advisers that fired him.
He killed one of the advisers and his wife, and then he killed the son and housekeeper of the other adviser.
It is unclear whether he was practicing this entire time.

Crazy & terrible story - path resident fired for erratic behavior killed the child and babysitter of former instructor 7 years after termination and then killed former instructor and his wife just this past spring.

Merging similar threads.

This is eerily similar to an incident that happened a few years ago where a pathology resident at UW was angry about being fired from his residency. He killed his mentor and then himself: http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20001031&slug=4050622

There was another incident like this in NJ at a program not far from my medical school:

Unfortunately, in this crazy world we live in, I'm pretty sure that if you google "employee kills boss after being fired" for any position, you'd find stories like this.

D*mn. That's some straight up violence. According to physicians I have consulted with, desiring to get a flame thrower and get vengence is normal. However, killing confirmed the erratic behavior statement. There is another case of a physician killing people, but instead of killing people who wrong him, he went around killing patients.... By the way, there was a Physician who was planning on killing the hospital CEO arrested in Texas.

How does a physician get arrested for attempted (or planned) murder anyway? I heard of a lawyer who was planning on killing his partner, but he was arrested.

What do people do, leave a diary of their plans sitting on the street corner?
