FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A Fresno man with a history of domestic violence stormed into a medical office building in California and fatally shot the mother of his five children before he killed himself.

Panicked employees and patients hid in bathrooms at the Eye Medical Clinic in downtown Fresno and were seen climbing from the building's ground-level windows as police arrived Tuesday.

Arriving officers heard one gunshot, Fresno police Lt. Joe Gomez said. To help people inside the building get out, police smashed windows and helped people climb to safety, Gomez said.

Fresno Deputy Police Chief Pat Farmer said there are two businesses in the building, a pediatric clinic and an eye clinic. There were 16 employees and patients inside.

6. This is why my wife carries at her clinic.

All day long she takes patient calls from patients she dismisses and all patient complaints end up on her extension. Not a week goes by where she doesn't get some kind of threat. Nut bag patients, disgruntled employees...ect.

Stay safe and carry on my friends.

8. In other news, my two firearms have never hurt anybody.

If it bleeds it leads. This is why laws that mandate abusers not be allowed to own firearms should be enforced, not an argument for taking firearms away from decent people.

Yes, yes, I know - according to some, decent people would never own firearms in the first place. Believe me, I've heard it all.
