Sources told NBC 4 New York that a preliminary investigation revealed Bello resigned from the hospital in 2015 in lieu of termination. A New York State licensing website does not reveal any disciplinary history.
Police are investigating the shooting as a case of workplace violence and former NYPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said it does not appear to be terror-related.
