How did he get a gun in there?
“When I said, ‘You need to work on your bedside manner,’ I wasn’t bullshitting!” 😳😂
BLACK
DOES IT AGAIN
Geez. All that schooling
That’s just heartbreaking.
How TF did he get the gun inside…
We have security at my hospital for reasons like this… this is horrible.
Wht happen did he owe him drug money
What a coward!
America you have a gun problem seriously… abolish that 2nd amendment…
Yes, only our corrupt government and police force should have guns…. what could ever go wrong with that? And the 400 million guns that are already in circulation…. meh, we’ll just wave our magic wands around and make them disappear
When folks try to blame this on guns, remember the Docs scalpels could also work as a stabbing device and his stethoscope used as a choking device, now what? RIP DOC and Condolences to his fam, coworkers and friends. Someone had too see this coming? Some friction or previous engagements between these two? Cant believe its just random spur of the moment act, had to be something amiss with the two and at lesst one of yall had to know about it.
My God!
The only people I see that open carry look like the worst losers and scum here in Nevada where it is legal. Even if they were not carrying , you would not go near them.
Tennessee. Inbreeding guns racists and hillbillies. And a toxic mix of false religion and brainwashing.
Another loser blame other people for their problem.
It’s dumb. It’s red state America.
Sounds personal. Awaiting motive.
loose gun laws…..huh….vote democrat….this is just stupid now.
Nah, I’m not voting for a party that is soft on crime and keeps allowing repeat violent offenders back onto the streets. Define what “loose” gun laws are…. because every state has to follow all federal gun laws
Why want any state the obvious and say it was a hate crime
“Well how is a good guy with a gun meant to stop a bad guy with a gun if he isn’t carrying at all times”…..Republican response to why should a gun be allowed in a medical facility.
This is so sad. It’s heartbreaking.
How does a gun get passed everyone and into the surgery room. I am a OR nurse. We have steps in place to check the patient and the patient should have been nude in a gown. It’s a shame that this poor doctor had to loose his life
Doctors and educated professionals need to move north, out of these poorly educated areas, to where you are appreciated.
Yes, by all means move north to the low crime rates of Chicago, Detroit, NYC! By far the worst in the country! All Democratic run cities!
We don’t want you up North, keep your mess where it is.
Red states have the highest murder rate per capita in the USA.
Learn what statistical outliers are. Here…. let me help you out. “On paper”…. Alaska has a higher gun murder rate than CA. Alaska had all of 38 gun murders last year, while CA had over 3,000. But because AK only has a population of about 500k compared to CA’s 40 million, the stats are skewed and misleading.
R.I.P. Dr. Mauck. My,prayers and condolences goes out to his family and friends..
Oh My God! How Tragic 😢. What a great loss to his family AND the community 😢
That’s absolutely heartbreaking man. There’s pure evil walking out there
What was this guys beef????
The GOP and the NRA says that all citizens should be able to carry weapons anywhere for their safety! Not the publics Safety!!
If you’re a law abiding citizen then yes, you should be able to carry anywhere
I bet we all can guess the color of the shooter
Here we go again, thoughts and prayers. So now doctors should be armed? When will congress act
What do you want them to do? Try and legislate every individual’s morality? Its already illegal to carry a gun into a doctors office, and its already illegal to shoot and murder innocent people. Should congress make murder more illegal?
Someone was mad at him and they are not telling you the motive which they already know. My guess is he touched someone that he shouldn’t have but yes it’s a shame but not all Drs are all that they are cracked up to be. Be warned it’s probably just the beginning
My guess is you’re projecting your own sins you sick person
Id like to know what triggered him
If your in the mental field I suggest get out
Uh huh. Black man kills white Doctor. Prepare for a total news blackout after today on this story. And YOU know exactly WHY.
RIP. So sad. He was just doing his job
It’s a shame, people who save lives and it easier are now afraid of their own life. Condolences to family and friends 😢😢😢
That’s some greys anatomy type mess. Rest in peace
The republican party is completely responsible for gun anarchy in america.
According to FBI crime statistics…. the majority of shootings in this country are committed by repeat violent offenders that have been let back on to the streets…. so I would say the blame goes to the Democrats for their soft approach on crime, prison reform, no cash bail, early release and plea deals
Training does no good if the officers don’t have LongGuns on hand Give them Longs ASAP
Show the usual suspect liberal nbc😡
That really sucks. The Dr really seemed good and talented as a surgeon.
So infuriating they kept saying how good the active shooter training went into effect when a completely innocent, completely brilliant man is now no longer with us because of a man getting his hands on a gun. That brilliant training put into practice didn’t help this doctor.
I can’t believe this actually happened. 😢 That poor Dr. 😢😢😢 God Bless His Soul, May he rest in peace 😔😔😔
Forget about a doctor seeing someone who isn’t patted down thoroughly from now on.
Whyyyyyyy! I’m so sick of people shooting others.
We might have to change the name of this country, from “United States” to “United Primates”
Or United Land Thieves, United Slave Owners, United Invaders, United Warmongers, and so forth.
Dr. Mauck was widely known and loved in the Memphis area. RIP. ❤
Jesus angry in Canada 😢 he is homeless no job no wife 😢
People must love to spend their life in jail .
WELL””’GET THE MOTIVE””OF Y HE DELETED THE DOC..THATS THE ”’REAL NEWS”””OTHER THAN THAT BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH,,,,,,,SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!
When i heard Orthopedic i understood why he got shot. Takes months just to get an appointment, they barely try since there’s a shortage of orthopedics so they know they can just drain your money.
Ungrateful?
What a nut
One of those fireworks was called the Unabomber. That’s hilarious.
😮😭😭😭💔💔💔🙏
We don’t really know why and what happened. These press conference tend to praise law enforcement and how they handled a situation.
Maybe metal detectors should be put in place at the medical facilities.
“Don’t live your life in fear, mmkay”
Guns.
I want to hear the reason.
You are going to feel some pressure
GDN
This is why our Country is failing. Too many violent mentally ill people, and no place to put them. And the other reason for failure is people constantly suing and mistreating the police.
At a major hospital near me the emergency room has a police sub station on the campus.
This so sad. Need more mental health in this country. I think he did surgery on my mom. Did awesome work. PRAYERS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
Terribly and completely if not utterly senseless…💔🙏🏾😔 May Dr. Mauk rest in peace always, my upmost sincerest condolences to his loved ones & so forth.
💔
Don’t we mean “Black Man kills unarmed white man” Why is this not the headline??? This hypocrisy is disgusting already!!!
Is another one of those white supremacists ole sniffy Joe warned us about?
Another one of those white supremacists ole sniffy Joe Biden warned us about?
How awful. What a waste of an excellent life by a low life of our society.
Now we’ll talk more about guns, rather the problem of evil and/or mental illness that plagues our world.
Slava ukraine! Slava ukraine! more funds and let us join NATO and invoke Article 5. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine
Probably loss a lawsuit the patient deserved.
Will thoughts and prayers keep guns out of this hospital in the future?
Take the guns. Period.
Medical professionals are procedure repeating non listening idiots so this is to be expected
Jews hiding the suspook
Like they hide White Genocide
IT’s Memphis
Can you guess ????
Brazilian butt lift gone wrong?
Doctors gotta stay strapped these days.
Funny they referenced the shooting at Kroger when the nost recent mass shooting was the one at the ” Christian” elementary school where the shooter was a transgender☝️ that tatical response was perfect and of more training value then what they spoke of here…media proganda once again…☝️
Surgeon fault for mistreating a kangz
As long as good guys have guns, bad guys will get their guns and this will continue to happen.
JUDGED BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER NOT BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN 😡 MARTIN LUTHER KING HAD A DREAM THAT’S BECOME OUR NIGHTMARE 😠
Hopefully the prosecutor goes for the death penalty on this one.
I’ve been in a shootout in Georgia at a mental health clinic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr4AXPa2FKk
More guns more guns Thanks GOP and NRA
republicans: surgeon shoulda had his own gun..this is on him
You know hes a black savage because they dont show his face. Have to coddle blacks at all costs so we can brainwàsh the mases into thinking white supremacy is our biggest threat
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hate crime, again, from the 13 percent who commit 50 percent of the violent crime.
What did this doctor do to the patient? Why did they guy lash out at him?
