These gunmen again. Wolves in sheep clothing. Heartless & shameless ppl. They think they can just enter a hospital and start spraying bullets. Shouldnt Hospitals have police officers these days for security. These animals are walking freely in the streets. They deserve to be killed just the same. May those 9 lives rest in peace
