BLUF: There were major warning signs in Bello’s life before the mass shooting, which spanned two floors as Bello opened fire on hospital employees, including other doctors. He had a criminal history that mostly involved attacks against women.
According to Pix11, Dr. Bello had three prior arrests, including one for sexual abuse. The New York Post reported that Bello was arrested in August 2004 in Manhattan "following an incident in which a 23-year-old woman said an assailant grabbed her crotch, held her arms, lifted her up and carried her off, saying, ’You’re coming with me.'"
Bello was "charged with sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment, sources said. Pix11 reported that Bello pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in the 2004 case and received community service.
According to The Daily Beast, Bello also had "an arrest for attempted burglary at 5:10 a.m. on April 23, 2003, when he kicked in the door to an ex-girlfriend’s apartment on Buchanan Place in the Bronx."
[AJR] A woman carrying her two young sons arrived home from work around 3 a.m., May 12 to find two men had broken into her apartment.
The men shocked her with stun guns, threw boiling water on her and raped her while her older son watched, a police report said.
Police have arrested 17-year-old Francisco Palencia, 19-year-old Josue Ramirez and an unnamed 15-year-old female in connection with the assault. All three suspects have been charged with home invasion, rape, aggravated sodomy, kidnapping, aggravated battery and cruelty to children. They will appear for a preliminary hearing on July 5 at the Gwinnett County Detention Center.
More arrests in the case are possible, a Gwinnett County Police Department spokesman said.

WND - The oldest, Ramirez, is an illegal immigrant who is subject to an immigration hold at the Gwinnett County Detention Center, according to online jail records.
[The Hill] White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that rampant gun violence in Chicago is "driven more by morality than anything else."
Sanders was pushing back on the notion that easy access to guns contributes to violent crime in the Windy City.
"I think that the problem there is pretty clear that it’s a crime problem. I think that crime is probably driven more by morality than anything else," she said at an off-camera briefing at the White House.
The comment came after the Trump administration announced the creation of a Chicago Gun Strike Force and that it is sending 20 more agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to the city to help stem gun violence there.
"This is a law enforcement issue and our focus is on adding additional support," Sanders said.
Chicago’s high crime rates have been a constant focus for Trump, who ran for the White House on a law-and-order platform.
The Justice Department said 4,300 Chicagoans were shot last year and more than 700 people were killed in shootings.

All them thar smart college professors says that families are a 'social construct' and ain't needed. Who needs 4000 years (+) of history and social evolution, when you got top people on the subject. Top people.
[NEWYORK.CBSLOCAL] A doctor of family medicine shot seven people, killing one, before taking his own life at Bronx-Leb Hospital Center Friday afternoon.
The gunman was identified as Dr. Henry Bello. He brought an AR 15-type rifle into the hospital underneath a white lab coat, authorities said.
A woman was killed and six other people were hit, five of them receiving serious wounds, according to authorities. One was hit in the leg.
Bello resigned from the hospital in 2015 after allegations of sexual harassment.
Bello searched for an employee before opening fire, sources said.
The gunman opened fire on the 16th and 17th floors at around 2:55 p.m., Police Commissioner James O’Neill said.
It took about 15 minutes from the first 911 call to the time Bello’s body was found on the 17th floor, where most of the shots were fired.
The hospital’s fire alarm system went off during the incident after Bello apparently tried to set himself on fire.
"[Bello] was let go because I guess they figured he was unstable," witness Dione Morales said. "He said he was going to do this."
Morales said Bello made the threat two years ago when he left the hospital.
A "red alert" went off within the hospital during the shooting, which was placed on lockdown. Doctors and nurses barricaded themselves within.
"Everybody said ’Code red, shut the door, don’t come out of your room.’ Well we got scared, we didn’t know what was going on. They said somebody in the hospital had a rifle," a patient named Toby told CBS2’s Valerie Castro. "I just heard people screaming and I got scared and they said close your bedroom door and don’t come out of your room. So I closed the door and didn’t come out of my room. My arm is swollen but I pushed the chair to the door so nobody could come in."

[REVIEWJOURNAL] Las Vegas police jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... a man Sunday after receiving reports of a sexual assault on the side of a central valley road.
Police found a dead woman at the scene and arrested Joseph G. Martinez, 57, on one count of unlawful sexual penetration of a dead body.
According to his arrest report, police arrived about 4:30 p.m. at 2140 W. Charleston Blvd., which is located near a church. Officers arrested Martinez shortly after arriving.
The dead woman appeared to be homeless and had no identification on her, according to the arrest report.
Martinez is being held at Clark County Detention Center without bail. He told police he had met the woman the night before, but she later died.
According to the arrest report, a coroner investigator determined the woman had died two to four hours before the incident.
The Clark County coroner’s office had not determined her cause of death as of Thursday. She was 35, according to the office.

Just so we're clear, this is problematic because she was dead and not because they did it in public, right?
#2
The police acted stupidly. They took one look at the suspect's brown skin, or his last name, or the unfortunate circumstance of his raping a stiff... and immediately jumped to the conclusion that he must be guilty, when, in fact, he was obviously just a patriotic corpsman rendering aid to a fellow American. Thank you for reading. That'll be, um, $32,500, pro-rated. Eid mubarak and God bless America!
Last Monday the convenient fiction on which Britain handed over Hong Kong to China ("one country, two systems") came to an end. The Standing Committee of China's parliament, the National People's Congress, declared that the inhabitants of Hong Kong could not elect their chief executive in 2007, nor vote for more than half the seats in the territory's legislature in 2008.
But that's the extent of it. Seven years after the hand-over, the spirit of the Chinese-British deal has been destroyed, and we prefer to ignore it. In slightly menacing celebration, eight Chinese warships sailed into Hong Kong harbour last week, the biggest show of Chinese naval strength there since 1997.
Why? Chinese government officials rummaged around in their collective memory and produced a pretty feeble reason: it was the 55th anniversary of the creation of the Chinese communist navy. Wouldn't it have been better to celebrate the 50th anniversary in this fashion? No answer. Back in 1999, of course, the Chinese were still wary of flouting the agreement with Britain. Not any longer.
The display of naval force was intended for another audience altogether: the government and people of Taiwan. Beijing has stopped playing Mr Nice Guy, trying to seduce the Taiwanese by showing how affectionate and accommodating it can be to those parts of the Motherland which have become temporarily unattached. Now it's sending Taiwan a pre-emptive warning.
The commander of the flotilla in Hong Kong harbour, Vice Adml Yao Xingyuan, was straight-spoken when someone asked him about Taiwan. "We are ready for the call from our country," he snapped. "We have the capability to maintain the political stability of Taiwan."
In other words, China is showing that it exerts a potential control over Taiwan to match its actual control over Hong Kong. If the United States and Britain don't like it, too bad; China has the military strength to do the job if necessary.
This presents the Americans with a real problem. Like the British in Hong Kong, they have been looking for a way of maintaining Taiwan's basic rights while keeping China happy. The "one nation, two systems" approach seemed a reasonable way forward.
But all sorts of factors have now persuaded China that it doesn't need to jump through these tiresome hoops any longer: the Americans are mired in a foreign adventure in Iraq which may well act as a kind of aversion therapy for the rest of this decade, much as previous American disasters in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia did; China is more sure of itself economically, politically and military; and Taiwan has got itself into a foolish state of political weakness after the muddled election which only just gave President Chen Shui-bian another term in office.
The best reason for threatening Taiwan is the relative absence of fuss in the West about what's happened to Hong Kong. If anyone, back in 1997, had realised that the agreement to allow Hong Kong to follow its own path for half a century would be trashed within seven years, there would have been international outrage. Now the few remaining Western foreign correspondents based in Hong Kong count themselves lucky to get a few column inches about it, and the Chinese have turned it all neatly into an argument about how little democracy the British allowed Hong Kong when it was their colony
[McCook Gazette] Mr. Truman's St. Paul, Minn., pie-for-everybody Speech last night reminded us that, at the tail-end of the recent session of Congress, Representative Clarence J. Brown (R-Ohio) jammed into the Congressional Record the following poem, Describing its author only as "a prominent Democrat of the State of Georgia":
DEMOCRATIC DIALOG
Father, must I go to work?
No, my lucky son,
We're living now on Easy Street
On dough from Washington.
We've left it up to Uncle Sam,
So, don't get exercised.
Nobody has to give a damn--
We've all been subsidized.
But, if Sam treats us all so well,
And feeds us milk and honey,
Please, Daddy, what the hell
He's going to use for money?
Don't worry bub, there's not a hitch
In this here noble plan,
He simply soaks the Filthy Rich,
And helps the common man.
But, father, won't there come a time
When they run out of cash
And we have left them not a dime,
when things all go to smash?
My faith in you is shrinking, son,
You nosy little brat;
You do too damn much thinking, son,
To be a Democrat._

[All Africa] SENIOR officials in the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC), permanent secretaries and military officials were lavished with personal loans amounting to US$11 million at a time the cash-strapped government is struggling to pay its bloated workforce, the Zim-bob-we Independent can exclusively reveal.
A loan schedule shows government has, between 2014 and March 2017, advanced loans to senior public officials, some of whom topped up their initial loans, despite failing to service their debts.
This comes against the backdrop of a revelation by Auditor-General Mildred Chiri that the broke Treasury has failed to account for nearly US$570 million disbursed to unnamed beneficiaries in the form of loans, exposing bad governance, gross mismanagement of public funds and systematic looting by brass hats.
The report raised concern over various issues, including maintenance of accounting records, fraudulent activities, transfers of money from fund accounts, outstanding payments to suppliers of goods and services, use of fund resources as collateral security and unsupported expenditures.
Government is spending more than 90% of revenue on recurrent expenditure, with the bulk going towards the payment of wages, leaving very little for capital expenditure and social services provision. Due to constrained cash flows, government has also been failing to pay its workers on time.
Documents seen by the Independent show that senior government officials, including those from the OPC, permanent secretaries, military, Zim-bob-we Prison Services and the Zim-bob-we Republic Police (ZRP), have outstanding loans which they are struggling to service.
Finance ministry permanent secretary Willard Manungo tops the loan list, having acquired 10 loans to the tune of
US$174 000, Civil Service Commission (CSC) boss Mariyawanda Nzuwah (US$155 000), CSC secretary Pretty Sunguro (US$140 000), Media and Information ministry permanent secretary George Charamba (US$120 000), while Environment ministry's permanent secretary Prince Mupaziriho has a loan amounting to US$110 000.
Comments could not be obtained from Manungo, Nzuwah, Sunguro and Mupaziriho as their mobile phones went unanswered.
Text messages sent to them delivered but were not responded to, including a WhatsApp message to Manungo.
Charamba's mobile phone could not go through as he was said to be in Namibia on official government business.

So I was wondering, just who was stupid enough to loan these duds a pile of money?
Read the article...Their own government 'loaned' them the money.
It wasn't stealing, it was a loan.
It wasn't income, it was a loan.

So we can get a loan to pay it back? We're cool!
[All Africa] The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari has been on life support in the last 20 days.
Mr. Fayose, who spoke while addressing journalists in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, also said the president should resign immediately.
He described as fake the audio Sallah message of the president, saying it was a futile effort to deceive the public.
Mr. Fayose called on those he called "cabal" in the presidency to allow the president to resign quietly, rather than plunge the country into a crisis.
According to him, the president has spent 53 days (actually 52 days) in London to attend to his health challenges, but no official information as to his whereabouts and his state of health has been made available since he left.
He said verifiable facts from London at his disposal and within the All Progressives Congress, APC, and particularly from those serving in Mr. Buhari's government confirmed that the president's health situation had worsened.
The governor said the situation could only change through divine intervention and prayers of Nigerians.
"Like every other Nigerian, I do not wish the president death. I have therefore maintained dignified silence since we were told that the President embarked on his second medical trip abroad this year.
"However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the recorded audio message which was released by the Presidency as the President's Ramadan message to Nigerians necessitated my setting the records straight today.
"No doubt, the audio message was only a damage-control strategy aimed at further deceiving Nigerians.
"That the audio message does not represent the truth as our President does not only have voice impairment, he has been on life-support since June 6, 2017 at a West-End, London Hospital.
"Of a fact, our First Lady, Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, was not allowed to see her husband during her last visit to the United Kingdom if only she will be courageous enough to admit.
"Only three Nigerians who are of the President's cabal are allowed access to the President. I will keep their identities for now.
"Anyone with contrary claim should produce the President to Nigerians within the next 48 hours. It is obvious that Nigeria is drifting like the last days of the Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's government."

Aww, geez.
I was not aware I lost a King. What happens with that?
Nigeria, one of the most difficult places to run, flanked with all of the nasties we chased out of the Middle East.
Anyone have some shore up material? I have a feeling.
[DAWN] A teenage girl was reportedly murdered by her relatives allegedly on the orders of a tribal jirga in Khyber Agency ... the place to go if you've got an Indiana Jones hat and whip. Chock full of high adventure and treacherous Pathans. You should really train up to it, though... on Friday, in what the local political administration said was a case of 'honour' killing.
The jirga had issued the orders to kill 13-year-old Naghma after it emerged that she had allegedly attempted to run away with two young men, an official said.
After she allegedly bravely ran away with them, the boys abandoned Naghma during the journey "out of fear". She was later taken into custody by the security forces and released on bail upon assurance by the girl's relatives that they would not kill her, Assistant Political Agent Niaz Mohammad told local news hounds.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... despite their assurances, Naghma's relatives shot her dead three days later inside a house in Landi Kotal tehsil and silently buried her body in a local graveyard.
A local government official told this scribe on condition of anonymity that the girl's killer is in the custody of the political administration.
Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind... a journalist belonging to Khyber Agency claimed that the two boys who allegedly bravely ran away with the girl are in the custody of the same jirga. He claimed that the boys' relatives will make every effort to secure their freedom, but it is possible that they too will be killed on the jirga's orders.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... Governor Iqbal Zafar Jhagra has sought a report into the incident from the political agent. He said the teenage girl's murder was contrary to human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... The National Assembly earlier this year passed a bill giving legal and constitutional cover to the centuries old jirga and panchayat systems in the country with a view to ensure speedy resolution of petty civil matters and reduce the burden of litigations on the courts.

Oh, it's impressive.
(1)The helmet really restricts lateral visibility, and likely your hearing as well.
The display unit in the visor is neat looking, but my experience with heads-up-display units like that is that they usually show what someone else thinks is important, not necessarily who's trying to kill you what's right in front of you.
(2) Does it come with an air conditioner? 'Cause any place that's not Siberia, you're gonna have a heat stroke over retained body heat. Maybe even then. (Of course, being Russians, maybe they're just planning for Siberia.)
Looks like a nice 2000 meter target for a 300 Lapua or a 50BMG.
