Bronx-Lebanon Hospital to hold vigil against gun violence

A week after a physician opened fire in Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in New York City, the facility hosted a vigil against gun violence, according to ABC News.

Hundreds attended the vigil Thursday, according to News 12 coverage of the event. Mourners paid their respects to victims of the shooting, which killed one and wounded six last Friday. Gunman Henry Bello, MD, a former hospital employee, entered the hospital through a rear entrance and opened fire before setting himself on fire and shooting himself in the head.

Dr. Bello killed Tracy Tam, DO, a family medicine physician who was at the hospital covering another physician's shift.

The vigil was held at a pavilion adjacent to the hospital emergency room.
