Hospital killing spree claims 3

TERRIFIED patients and staff fled as a man went on a shooting rampage at a US hospital, killing two colleagues, then himself.

Police in Long Beach, California, said Mario Ramirez, 50, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His victims were Hugo Bustamante, 46, and Kelly Hales, 56.

A hospital spokeswoman said all three men worked in an outpatient pharmacy where Bustamante was the manager and Hales the executive director.
