ALLINA CLINIC RIGHT OFF
OF HIGHWAY 55 RIGHT NOW. ATF
AGENTS ARE SWEEPING THE PARKING
LOT, APPARENTLY LOOKING FOR MORE
EVIDENCE AS THEY CONTINUE THEIR

STARTED AT ABOUT 11:00 A.M. WHEN
A 911 CALL CAME IN THAT SOMEBODY
HAD OPENED FIRE INSIDE
THE CLINIC WHEN EMERGENCY
RESPONDERS GOT HERE , FIVE
PEOPLE WERE SUFFERING GUNSHOT
WOUNDS. ONE OF THEM, AS WE JUST
MENTIONED, A NURSE HAS SINCE

THAT A BOMB WENT OFF INSIDE
A CLINIC DURING A PRESS

THE MOTIVE. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
WAITING TO FIND MORE OF .
