The [Tuesday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

There's always a past.

Gunman in yesterday's Mercy Hospital attack had threatened to shoot up Chicago Fire Academy years ago after he was fired for "improper conduct" toward women, officials say. https://t.co/r5d1F4Pgnd

Police say a woman sought a protection order four years ago against Juan Lopez, the man suspected of fatally shooting a doctor, a police officer and another worker at Mercy Hospital. https://t.co/IzXJbOL8Jm

Last night, Dr. Tamara O'Neal was murdered by her ex-fiance at #MercyHospital. He then killed police officer Samuel Jimenez and pharmacy resident Dayna Less.

If we don't take misogyny and violence towards women seriously, these shootings will continue to happen. pic.twitter.com/65QJg1Lrq7

I was a close friend of Dayna Less. One of her and her family's favorite things together was celebrating their love for the Cubbies. ♥️ Please pray for her Mother, Father, and Fiancé during this horrific time. pic.twitter.com/4bvreD32gS

Tamara O'Neal, the ER doctor killed by her ex-fiance at Chicago's Mercy Hospital, worked 2 full time jobs after college while preparing for medical school. She was also a mentor to at-risk youth. Read more about O'Neal's life and tragic death here: https://t.co/jzH74qYYMo pic.twitter.com/r9WwPVF22v

Today, we mourn Chicago Police Officer Samuel Jimenez. His heroic actions saved countless lives. He ran toward danger. He ran toward those shots. He ran into fire. Selflessly.

Samuel Jimenez: altruism personified. #OfficerDown #NeverForget pic.twitter.com/7IDW4sJr6v

Chicago Police Officer Samuel Jimenez, Dr. O'Neal and a pharmaceutical assistant (who hasn't been named yet) have died. Three people that made a huge difference in this cold world are gone all because a worthless man couldn't accept rejection and move on. from r/chicago
