The gunman who held intensive care unit staff hostage at UPMC Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania before killing a police officer and injuring five other people Saturday believed that more could have been done to save his wife, who was on life support for a terminal illness, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. Diogenes Archangel-Ortiz, 49, was removed from the hospital by security the previous night after becoming irate and emotionally overwrought following a diagnosis that there was no other treatment available for his wife, the official said. It is not clear whether she has died. York County District Attorney Tim Barker said at a news conference Saturday that Archangel-Ortiz had “contact previously in the week in the ICU for a medical purpose involving another individual,” but his office declined to provide additional information Monday. Archangel-Ortiz returned to the hospital Saturday morning, carrying a backpack with a firearm, zip ties and duct tape, and held staff members hostage before being killed in a shootout with police. The gunman opened fire and struck three officers, killing one who was later identified as West York Borough Police Department Officer Andrew Duarte. The 30-year-old officer’s death was ruled a homicide, the York County Coroner’s Office said in a news release posted to social media on Monday. Duarte died after being shot in the torso, the news release said.
