The parents of a terminally ill Texas doctor have expressed their shock and sorrow for the first time since their son allegedly shot another physician, and then himself amid a deadly hostage situation at a hospital earlier this week.
According to authorities, Dr. Bharat Narumanchi burst into Children’s Medical Group in Austin on Tuesday with a pistol, what appeared to be a shotgun and two duffel bags. He was met by five employees, including 43-year-old Dr. Katherine Lindley Dodson, who did not survive the five-hour siege.
Austin police are still trying to work out why and how Dr. Katherine Lindley Dodson was tragically killed Tuesday night, but tributes have poured in about the incredible person and doctor that Dr. Dodson was.

A Texas community is mourning the loss of a beloved pediatrician who was killed by another doctor in an apparent murder-suicide at her clinic on Tuesday night.
Lindley Dodson, MD, was only 43 years old and mother to three children ages 5, 7, and 11 when she was murdered by Bharat Narumanchi, MD, at Children s Medical Group in Austin.
Narumanchi, also 43 years old and also a pediatrician, reportedly said he had terminal cancer, though his motivation for the killing remains a mystery. It was not apparent that he knew Dodson prior to asking for a job at the clinic a few days before Tuesday s tragedy.
