Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin said the assailant in Wednesday's attack blamed a doctor at the facility for ongoing pain after back surgery.

“She said that she was in the process of moving and then she found these pictures and she really wanted me to have them back… “It is the ultimate loss for Tulsa and St. Francis.” He planned to focus on Congress’s bipartisan push to regulate the purchase of ammonium nitrate – a chemical commonly used in fertilizer and explosives – after its use in deadly acts of terrorism, including the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. out of the goodness of her heart, knowing how much I miss and love my mother,” Reckenbeil said in a phone interview. Franklin said Louis was able to get into the hospital through a second-level parking level that’s connected to the building. "But we will be here to walk with you through that process every step of the way — have no doubt about that.” Franklin told reporters that police recovered a letter the gunman had on him detailing how he was “killing Dr. Phillips and anyone who came in his way.” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) described Wednesday’s hospital attack as “ a senseless act of violence and hatred.” Officers got to the scene within minutes, Franklin said, and the gunfire suddenly stopped. Democrats are hoping passage of a sweeping House bill will pressure Republicans in the Senate to join them in taking some action, even if it’s more modest. On May 19, Louis went into hospital for back surgery, and Phillips was the operating physician, Franklin said. Then, at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Louis purchased a semiautomatic rifle from a local gun store shortly before heading to St. Francis, police said.
