Gregory Ulrich was angry at doctors for cutting off his opioid prescription after he overdosed four years ago, leading him to open fire inside a Buffalo medical clinic last week, according to newly unsealed search warrants.
Authorities believe Ulrich s dependency on pain medication was the driving force behind his assault at the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo, Minn. The Feb. 9 attack killed 37-year-old medical assistant Lindsay Overbay and seriously injured four others.
In a video he recorded shortly before he opened fire and set off homemade explosives at the clinic, he mentions consuming more than 30 pills at a time, according to one of more than a dozen search warrants unsealed Friday. Following the shooting, authorities also found six oxycodone pills in his room at a Super 8 motel where he had been staying since Jan. 31.
In the warrant applications, Deputy Bailey goes on to describe a video allegedly recorded by Ulrich shortly before the attack in which Ulrich said he takes more than 30 pills at a time .
