At the time it seemed like over-kill.

TITUSVILLE, Fla. (AP) A gunman entered a Florida hospital through the emergency room early Sunday, went to the third floor and fatally shot a patient and an employee apparently at random, police said.
David Owens, 29, entered Parrish Medical Center at 2 a.m. and used a handgun to fatally shoot 88-year-old patient Cynthia Zingsheim and employee Carrie Rouzer, 36, who was sitting with Zingsheim in her room, Titusville police said.
Owens left the gun in the room and was tackled by two unarmed security guards as he left, police said.
"The bravery they showed was amazing," Titusville Police Chief John Lau said.
