Cause Sought For Gunfight Between Patient, Doctor
DARBY, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in Darby, Pennsylvania are investigating why a patient fatally shot a caseworker who had accompanied him to a psychiatric crisis center.
Authorities say Richard Plotts shot the caseworker, and then his psychiatrist pulled out his own gun and shot Plotts, wounding him.
Investigators say Plotts may have had issues with the doctor over his treatment plan.
