One dead, four wounded in shooting in US

SANAA, Feb. 10 (YPA) – One person was killed and four others were injured on Tuesday night when a gunman opened fire at a clinic in the northern United States.

According to AFP, police said they received a report shortly before 11:00 am (1700 GMT) that an armed man had entered the Alina Health clinic and shot those there.

The attack happened Tuesday morning at an Allina clinic in Buffalo, a community of about 15,000 people roughly 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis.

Authorities said Gregory Paul Ulrich, of Buffalo, opened fire at the facility and was arrested before noon.

Though police said it was too early to tell if Ulrich had targeted a specific doctor, court records show he at one point had been ordered to have no contact with a man whose name matches that of a doctor at the clinic.

As authorities searched the clinic for more victims, they found the suspicious device and evacuated the building, Wright County Sheriff Sean Deringer said.

According to the police chief, “it is possible that the shooting was preceded by an explosion”.
