The Pennsylvania patient accused of killing his caseworker in a psychiatric center shooting carried dozens of bullets and he would have likely continued shooting if a doctor didnt fire back, officials said.
Richard Plotts, 49, is expected to be charged with murder for allegedly opening fire at Sister Marie Lenahan Wellness Center in Darby Thursday.
After he killed his caseworker, 53-year-old Theresa Hunt, and shot his psychiatrist, Lee Silverman, the wounded doctor fired back, stopping the attack, District Attorney Jack Whelan said in a Friday press conference.
Plotts had 39 more bullets on him. He intended a mass shooting, Whelan said.

So, “Armed citizen stops mass murder”?
But Democrats say this never happens.
Oh, yeah - they don’t count incidents like this one, because only one person was killed.
Selective, defective statistics.

How many cartridges did he have? None. He's still caught in the grip of the powder and primer shortage. I can't find VV3N37 or even Win 231 anywhere.

This is why the occupation media will bury this story way down the memory hole.

They need bigger print on the "Gun Free Zone" signs.

If the murderer had been successful,
the meme would have been “guns kill people.”
The gun-carrying doctor saved lives,
but the gun did not save lives.

The shooter is described as the “Pennsylvania patient”. Why dont they just call him the PA MENTAL patient? Yes yes its not PC.

How many cartridges did he have? And what caliber were the bullets and cartridges, did he have all the loading supplies and equipment with him?

Okay, let me put on my democratic thinking hat....
2 cartridges per bullet, right? One for the top of the bullet and one for the bottom.
Using common core, I double the number of bullets and round it up. So 100??? Does this qualify me for a Masters Degree from the University of Wisconsin?

Three years after that, he robbed a Delaware bank, she said. He served six years in prison for that offense.
Why wasn't he immediately taken behind the courthouse and given a .577 Boxer round to the noggin after this shenanigan? Oh, right, because liberals wanted him to commit more crimes.
