SAN ANTONIO - An 85-year-old man shot and killed himself inside a Downtown doctor's office.

Police responded to the shooting off Camden and Lexington Avenue just after 2pm Tuesday afternoon. They say the man was inside one of the patient rooms on the fifth floor when he pulled the trigger.

Shekeyah Yehuda was inside the same doctor's office when the gun went off.

“I'm standing right by his door. When the man did it, I'm right beside Dr. Rodriguez's door on the phone,” explained Yehuda. “I jumped ‘cause it scared me. And I said, ‘No - that wasn't gun shot.’ But then I smelled it. I smelled gun smoke. I smelled it.”

No one else inside the building was hurt or threatened.

Police are still investigating why the man shot himself.

Folks a man killed himself and all most of you can do is haul out political diatribes. Ever heard of 'there but for the grace of God go thou'? Some numbscull's are truely heartless.

It has NOTHING to do with President Obama, nor his agenda. How 'bout thinking that MAYBE it's about the patient was sick and tired of having to wait sooooo long out in the reception area, then in the exam room for the doctor to get to him? ;-)

How about a little sympathy for his family. I was told that his daughter was with him. No matter what his reason, this affects the family deeply.

a pseudo-intellectual. such a brilliant mind in dispose of a news blog full of rhetorical non-sensical dribble. a mind is a terrible thing to waste, especially when attempting to juxtaposition a tragic event onto a mis-guided political policy. a mensa candidate you are not.

Obamacare? What ever happened to SENILE. His social security number was 2. He lost his virginity in the back of a horseless carriage. Back in his day he was blogging about how Roosevelt was ruining America by paving roads and damming rivers. I blame Herbert Hoover for this.
