A former Doctor opened fire at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center in the Bronx on Friday afternoon—killing one and wounding five others.

The crime scene is at 1650 Grand Concourse near 173rd Street in the Mt. Eden section.

Seven people total were shot and one victim has died. At least three of the victims are doctors.

Police said the suspect was wearing a white lab coat and carrying a ‘M16’ rifle.

Police have identified the shooter as Dr. Henry Bello. According to the hospital website, he practiced “family medicine”.

WNBC reported: After shooting the victims — many of them, if not all, doctors — Bello tried to set himself on fire on the 17th floor of the hospital, O’Neill said. The hospital’s fire alarm system activated, and FDNY firefighters were on standby outside the hospital as NYPD executed its active shooter protocol.

The suspect was later found dead on an upper floor by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Sources say Bello was a former employee who was recently terminated for harassing a fellow worker. He had at least three prior arrests, one for sexual abuse.

The incident is not believed to be terror-related, the FBI said.

An extremely graphic image appears to show Bello deceased inside the hospital.

“I saw blood on the floor,” Bronx hospital employee says after shooting. “I saw a doctor with blood on his hands.”https://t.co/WvV2AdVZlC pic.twitter.com/nvDxNFgPHt — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) June 30, 2017
