The shooter took his own life, the Associated Press reported, citing a law enforcement official. An NYPD spokesman said the gunman died at the hospital. The gunman, Dr. Henry Bello, was a doctor who formerly worked at the hospital, a law enforcement source told the AP. He entered Bronx Lebanon Hospital at about 2:50 p.m. on Friday with a rifle concealed in a lab coat and began shooting. The law enforcement official told the AP that Bello then apparently killed himself. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4842455/bronx-lebanon-hospital-shooting/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4842455/bronx-lebanon-hospital-shooting/"},"headline":"Gunman and Victim Dead in Shooting at New York City's Bronx Lebanon Hospital","datePublished":"2017-06-30T19:42:23.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T06:11:49.000Z","description":"Police said it was a \"very active scene\"","url":"https://time.com/4842455/bronx-lebanon-hospital-shooting/","keywords":["New York","Crime","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4f7330d9c4106665/6988d4400b72e3490f6ee7bc/bronx-shooting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4f7330d9c4106665/6988d4400b72e3490f6ee7bc/bronx-shooting.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hospital Shooting","caption":"Hospital Shooting","creditText":"Mary Altaffer—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/new-york/","name":"New York"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4842455/bronx-lebanon-hospital-shooting/","name":"Gunman and Victim Dead in Shooting at New York City's Bronx Lebanon Hospital"}}]}] ```
