MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Authorities charged a Minnesota man with murder on Thursday in an attack on a health clinic that left a medical assistant dead and four other staff members wounded, releasing new details of how the assault unfolded while brushing aside questions about whether more could have been done to prevent it.
Charges filed against Gregory Ulrich, 67, describe an attack on an Allina Health clinic that was similar to a mass shooting he had threatened to carry out there in the past. The complaint says Ulrich shot five workers in succession on Tuesday and detonated three apparent pipe bombs.

Despites run-ins with police, a threatened mass shooting and admitting he violated a restraining order, state laws did not prevent Gregory Ulrich from owning a gun.

BUFFALO, Minn. Even before Tuesday, Gregory Ulrich had so many red flags in his history it would have seemed impossible he could have legally owned a gun.
There were the dozens of run-ins with Buffalo Police dating back more than a decade.
He was charged with violating a harassment restraining order filed by the doctor, where a judge wrote that Ulrich had stated that “killing one individual wouldn’t be enough” and that “his intent was to get at least 30 years in jail and possibly a straight jacket.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A man who shot five staff members at a Minnesota health clinic wounded two of them in the reception area before heading back to where patients are treated and shooting three others, including a medical assistant who died of her wounds, according to authorities and criminal charges filed Thursday.
Gregory Paul Ulrich, 67, also allegedly set off three explosive devices during Tuesday’s attack at an Allina clinic in Buffalo, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis, as other staff barricaded themselves inside locked rooms. He is charged with second-degree murder without premeditation, four counts of attempted first-degree premeditated murder, possessing an explosive device and carrying a pistol without a permit.
