Two doctors, a receptionist and a former soldier accompanying his wife during a checkup were identified as the victims killed inside a Tulsa medical building Wednesday.
Phillips, 59, was a 1990 graduate of Harvard Medical School. According to police, Phillips completed two fellowships at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston in 1986 and 1996. Dr. Phillips earned advanced degrees in organic chemistry and pharmacology, as well as theology from Emory University.
“I’ve never had a doctor in all the years of my life that was just as amazing as he was,” Fox said. “He worked from his heart. I just can’t imagine something like this happening to him in such a terrible way. It breaks my heart, severely.” “Tragically, this incident is the latest in a seemingly unending series of devastating shootings that serve as painful and recurring reminders that gun violence is a medical and public health crisis in this country,” Harvard Medical School Dean George Q. Daley said Thursday in a statement.
Love had taken his wife, Deborah, to the clinic the day of the shooting for her six-month checkup, said their daughter, Karen Denise Love. Deborah Love had back surgery in December. “William Love's family would like us to share that at the time of the shooting, William heard the gunshots and knew his wife would not be able to escape the building on her own. He sacrificed his life for her,” a Facebook post by Tulsa police read.“He was a red, white and blue guy, my daddy,” she said. “He was a good, stable human being.”
