RENO, Nev. – Nevada authorities say they’re trying to determine whether a California man’s anger over complications he suffered from a 2010 surgery prompted him to go on a shooting rampage at a urologist’s office, killing one doctor and critically wounding another before committing suicide.
Reno detectives say they’re working to obtain the medical records of 51-year-old Alan Oliver Frazier to learn more about his physical condition and mental health before the shooting.
