BUFFALO, Minn. The suspect in Tuesday s mass shooting at an Allina Clinic had dozens of run-ins with local law enforcement since 2006, including a report made by his doctor two years ago warning police that his patient made mass shooting threats against the hospital, records released Wednesday show.
In that case, the doctor called 911 in October 2018 saying that his patient, Gregory Paul Ulrich, 67, called his home several times to confront him about medical care he had provided him two years earlier.
Assistant Wright County Attorney Brian Lutes said he intends to charge Gregory Paul Ulrich, 67, with second-degree intentional murder, four counts of attempted first-degree attempted murder, and possession of an explosive or incendiary device in connection with the shooting inside the Allina Health Clinic. "I will aggressively prosecute Ulrich for this horrible crime and the pain he caused to the victims, their families and the entire community," Lutes said.
