A doctor forced from a New York hospital because of sexual harassment accusations returned
Friday with an assault rifle hidden under his lab coat and shot seven people, killing
one woman in an attack that left several doctors fighting for their lives.
The gunman (who) has been identified as Dr. Henry Bello fatally shot himself after trying
to set himself on fire at Bronx Lebanon Hospital.
He staggered, bleeding, into a hallway where he collapsed and died with the rifle by his
side.
New York mayor Bill de Blasio: "Thank God, this was not an act of terrorism.
It was an isolated incident, appears to be a workplace-related matter, but that makes
it no less tragic or no less horrible."
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as gunfire erupted spreading terror throughout the medical
facilities as employees locked themselves inside rooms and patients feared for their
lives.
President Donald Trump's modified travel ban has been implemented, requiring visa applicants
from six majority-Muslim nations to have a "bona fide" relationship with a family member
or business in the U.S. to be admitted into the country.
???, advocacy manager for Care Los Angeles, said his organization was disappointed at
what he called arbitrary relationship statuses in the order.
"We are looking forward cases so potentially filed on law suits and make sure that all
Muslim Americans and all individuals impacted by the Muslim ban have the right protected
and can travel freely."
Anyone in transit to the United States with travel scheduled before July 6 will be allowed
to enter.
Those with travel booked after that date will be addressed at a later time.

It's the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China from British rule this weekend.
From Hong Kong, Bill Ide reports.
Just days before the anniversary and swearing-in of Hong Kong's new Beijing-approved chief
executive, activists perched themselves on a statue outside the convention center where
the ceremony will take place, calling for direct elections and the unconditional release
of Liu Xiaobo.
"In my opinion, he is illegally arrested because (of) what he has been saying for all these
years and can never be legal in the ordinary society."
Hong Kong's mini-constitution or basic law guarantees universal suffrage and activists
have called for direct elections for the territory's chief executive, but China ruled that out
in 2012.
Many see this as crucial for Hong Kong's future development.
Chinese President Xi Jinping says he will meet with people from all walks of life during
his three-day visit to the city.
But heightened security is likely to keep further protests and calls for political reform
as well as the unconditional release of Liu out of view.

U.S. President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in met at the White House
Friday.
On trade, Trump said the existing U.S.-South Korea trade agreement has been rough for the
U.S. and that he is working to create a fair and reciprocal economic relationship with
South Korea.
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump's actions were consistent with
his campaign promises.
"At the direction of the president, Ambassador Lighthizer is calling a special joint committee
meeting to start the process of renegotiating and amending the deal, and as always and as
we've said many times before, the president's committed to making sure he gets the best
deal and a better deal if possible."
Since the current trade deal went into effect in 2012, the U.S. trade deficit with Seoul
has doubled.
But the bulk of the two leaders' comments on Friday dealt with North Korea but the two
leaders presented a unified front.
The international chemical weapons watchdog has confirmed that sarin nerve gas was used
in a deadly attack in Syria.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the OPCW, said in a statement Friday
its fact-finding mission has found that sarin was used earlier this year in a deadly attack
on a Khan Sheikhoun area in Idlib province in the Syrian Arab Republic.
OPCW Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu said in a statement that he strongly condemned the
atrocity, which wholly contradicts the norms enshrined in the Chemical Weapons Convention.
"The perpetrators of this horrific attack must be held accountable for their crimes."

Today's World: Barnsley: Skipper Marc Roberts on the verge of Oakwell exit - Duration: 4:09.
Barnsley: Skipper Marc Roberts on the verge of Oakwell exit
Barnsley: Skipper Marc Roberts on the verge of Oakwell exit . Barnsley captain Marc Roberts is on the verge of completing his move to Championship club Birmingham City.
The clubs have agreed a fee in the region of £3. 5million, with add-ons believed to be included in the deal.
Blues boss Harry Redknapp has seemingly got his man after Roberts passed his medical yesterday, with a deal expected to formally be completed over the weekend.
Head coach Paul Heckingbottom on Thursday revealed the Reds had knocked back two offers from two Championship clubs – with one believed to be the Blues.
Hull City reportedly made a late move to try and snatch Roberts from under Redknapp's nose, but it proved to be too little too late for the Tigers.
Birmingham had previously tried to lure the defender away from South Yorkshire, with two bids - the second believed to be £1. 5million - turned down while Gary Rowett was in charge.
Roberts, who made 84 appearances for the Reds, was the man Redknapp turned to after failing to land John Terry, who looks set to join arch rivals Aston Villa.
Speculation surrounding Roberts' future has been rife all summer, with Liam Lindsay's arrival from Scottish Premiership outfit Partick Thistle adding fuel to the fire that the player was leaving.
Ahead of Roberts' expected departure, Barnsley announced the signing of centre half Ethan Pinnock from Forest Green Rovers on a three-year deal – their fifth acquisition of the summer.
The towering 24-year-old made 43 appearances as Rovers won promotion to the Football League for the first time in their history. Roberts has followed in a long line of Barnsley defenders to secure big-money moves away from the club.
John Stones, Mason Holgate, Alfie Mawson and James Bree have all left Oakwell in recent years and Roberts looks set to continue that heritage.
Roberts joined the club on a free transfer from non-league Halifax Town back in 2015, so the Reds have turned a tidy profit in losing another one of their stars.
Mawson moved to Swansea City for £5million last summer, with the club also receiving over £7million when Stones left Everton for Manchester City. Meanwhile, Andy Yiadom could be the next defender to secure a move away.
The Ghanaian international only joined the Reds last summer, but like Roberts is entering the final year of his contract.
Yiadom is reportedly not interested in extending his stay at Oakwell and the club are unlikely to let him leave for free next summer - like Marley Watkins and Josh Scowen did.
Swansea are the frontrunners for his signature, but as it stands are unwilling to meet the club's £2million valuation of the player.
