Crossroads Clinic shooting
The backstory:
Gregory Ulrich was convicted in June 2022 on 11 counts related to the attack. He was on trial for killing medical assistant Lindsay Overbay, and injuring four others. None of them had any connection to Ulrich, who was sentenced to life in prison.
Ulrich admitted in court to buying the gun and assembling pipe bombs related to the incident, but it was never his intention to kill anyone.
Ulrich told authorities he carried out the attack because he was driven by excruciating pain that the medical team at the clinic didn’t properly manage. He said the pain he was experiencing made him "lose his mind."
