[QUOTE]A man distraught about his mother's health shot and wounded a doctor at Baltimore's prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital on Thursday before killing his mother and taking his own life, police said.
The gunman was getting an update on his mother's medical condition "when he became emotionally distraught" and pulled a pistol out of his waistband, Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld said. He shot the doctor, then retreated to his mother's room, Bealefeld told reporters.
Bealefeld identified the gunman as 50-year-old Warren Davis, and the mother as Jean Davis. But police later said "Warren Davis was an alias," and the gunman's real name was unknown. They continued to identify the dead woman as the gunman's mother.
Hospital officials said they could not disclose any details about what illness afflicted the gunman's mother, citing federal privacy laws.
Police moved in and closed off the floor shortly after the 11 a.m. shooting. About 1:30 p.m., officers moved into the room to find the man and his mother dead from single gunshot wounds to the head, Bealefeld said.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]"At this point we are treating this case as a murder-suicide," Bealefeld said.
No officers reported hearing the fatal gunshots, he said.
The doctor, whose name was not released, was rushed to surgery for an abdominal wound and is expected to survive, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
"He's in the best place he could ever be," Guglielmi said, referring to the hospital.
Johns Hopkins Hospital, which first opened in 1889, is part of a $5 billion medical system, according to its website. The 982-bed facility has consistently earned the top spot in U.S. News & World Report's annual rankings of more than 4,800 American hospitals, placing first in five medical specialties, among other things.
Authorities evacuated part of the hospital after the shooting and then police attempted to isolate the suspect. The hospital "asked employees, visitors, patients and caregivers to stay in rooms or offices until further notice," it said in a statement. The hospital also said it has restricted access to the main hospital building after the shooting.
Earlier, police said officers shot and killed the gunman, but later said that account was incorrect.[/QUOTE]
