Actions of doctor praised after shooting suspect opened fire at West Palm Beach VA Medical Center.
A doctor has been injured by a double amputee who opened fire inside a hospital for military veterans in Florida. Larry Ray Bon, 59, originally from Michigan, has been arrested for shooting a handgun inside the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center on February 27.
"During the shooting, in between shots, the doctor saw an opportunity to jump on the suspect and disarm him," FBI Special Agent Justin Fleck said, reported WPLG. Bon, who has lived in West Balm Beach for a number of years, served in the U.S. Army briefly in the 1970s, although his amputations are not thought to be as a result of military involvement.
