Massillon Police Department Capt. Bill Peel and Chief Keith Moser said the physician — a cardiologist who practiced at a handful of hospitals, including Affinity Medical Center — was shot twice while walking to his vehicle.
Police said the shooter, Michael Wood, died on the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
After investigation, police found that the Dr. Seese and Mr. Wood shared a mutual love interest.
The hospital went on lockdown immediately following the shooting for roughly an hour. No other injuries were reported.
