Warren Davis is the man suspected of shooting a physician at Johns Hopkins Hospital before turning the gun on his mother, Jean Davis, and then on himself on Thursday (September 15, 2010). The Baltimore Sun reports that the doctor’s injuries are “not life-threatening.” Find out what authorities are expecting caused Davis to go on this deadly rampage below.
It seems like every week we hear of some wacko going on a shooting spree, and killing or injuring innocent people. Before this tragic incident there have already been two similar occurrences this month alone – one at the Kraft Food plant and the other at the Discovery Channel building.


What caused Warren Davis, 50, to suddenly transform into a killer, and take his mothers life and then his own? According to Baltimore police Davis “became emotionally distraught and reacted” after the doctor told him unpleasant news about his mother’s condition.

A source close to the incident revealed that “the gunman” was upset because he didn’t agree with the physician’s method of treatment. The source reportedly said:

“Basically, he was upset about his mother being paralyzed by the doctor.”

It seems as if authorities had the situation under control the entire time that the incident was taking place, because with the exception of a small portion of the building that was closed off, the rest of the hospital reportedly went on about their business as normal. In fact, they encouraged patients to keep their appointments, rather than canceling them, due to the situation.

If we can take any good news from this sad event it is – the doctor who was shot is expected to make a full recovery.

UFC's Marcus Davis looks back at his MMA path

Marcus Davis was a professional boxer in Boston when he saw the first Ultimate Fighting Championship event. It piqued his curiosity. But he spent a decade making the same journey that James Toney is trying to make in a few months.

A few days before his UFC 118 fight with Nate Diaz, Davis spoke to Fighting Stances about it:

When I saw the first UFC, I didn't think it was real. I thought it was fixed. I opened up the Yellow Pages and started looking for the name Gracie. I started calling all these places, and they're like, $200 an hour. Then I found one place that said Rickson Gracie. I didn't even know who Rickson was. I didn't know he was the best of the best.

So I called, and he said, "I'll do a private for $100 for an hour." So I went down, and I got terrified. I felt like I was in the ocean with sharks and I couldn't swim.

After that, I said, "This is real stuff."

I didn't follow up on it. I was a professional boxer, I was under contract, I wasn't even supposed to be down there doing that.

When I got done boxing, I started playing with the idea, "Hey, these guys in MMA, their hands are so horrible, I'm going to jump in."

My first amateur fights I had, I knocked everybody out. I never had to worry about hitting the ground. I turned pro, knocked out the first couple of guys I fought, still was just a boxer.

(Then I fought) Thiago Alves. I'd never been kicked in the leg. We fought a vicious fight -- I wound up getting six staples in my head and both my eyes sewed up.

After that, I wanted to learn how to check a leg kick. I lost a split decision, I went in the back room and screaming hard, I sat down, pulled on my pants, went to get up and couldn't get up. My legs were just blistered.

Davis is known as "The Irish Hand Grenade," and he counts fighting in Dublin as the highlight of his career to date. But after several trips overseas, mostly to fight European fighters, he's thrilled to be the hometown guy for a change.

"Normally, I'm in some foreign country to me, fighting in some kid's backyard," Davis says. "That adds more pressure. Walking around trying to find food you can eat when you're trying to make weight, that's a lot of pressure, a lot of stress."

Party switcher Parker Griffith, Rep. Artur Davis lose in Alabama primaries

Alabama Republican Rep. Parker Griffith was soundly defeated in a Republican primary tonight, the second party switcher to lose an intraparty fight in the past two weeks.

Madison County Commissioner Mo Brooks had 51 percent of the vote to Griffith's 33 percent and 16 percent for Les Phillip with 99 percent of precincts reporting. Although the Associated Press had not called the race, local media reported that Griffith had conceded the contest to Brooks.

Griffith, who had been elected as a Democrat to the northern Alabama 5th district, switched parties last year with promises from House Republican leaders that they would back him to the hilt.

But, he struggled to convince Republican primary voters that he was one of them; he was battered over his vote for Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) as House Speaker at the start of the 111th Congress, for example.

Griffith's problems were a mirror image of Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter's (D) difficulties in his primary loss to Rep. Joe Sestak on May 18.

Griffith joins Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) as House members to lose their re-nomination bids. In the Senate, Specter as well as Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) have come up short in intraparty bids and Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) faces a runoff race on June 8 against Lt. Gov. Bill Halter.

Alabama Democrats showed a similar resistance to establishment favorites in the governor's race.

Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks crushed Rep. Artur Davis in the Democratic primary for governor, ending Davis' hopes of becoming the state's first black governor.

"We worked hard, we fussed hard, we cried hard," Sparks said. "Thank you for allowing me to be in the position I'm in."

The Associated Press called the race for Sparks shortly before 11 pm eastern time and Sparks holding a lead of nearly 30 points.

Davis had long been touted as a star on the national stage but his insistence on opposing President Barack Obama's agenda in a failed attempt to keep himself viable in a general election coupled with his long-running feud with the state's unelected black leaders combined to make his showing a major disappointment.

Rick Dent, campaign manager for Sparks, told the Fix that Davis' vote against President Obama's health care legislation "hurt him in the African-American community."

The Republican gubernatorial race is headed to a July 13 runoff. Former state Sen. Bradley Byrne secured one of the spots but businessman Tim James and state Rep. Robert Bentley were separated by less than 300 votes in the fight for the second slot.

Two hundred miles to the west, national Republicans got some good news as Mississippi state Sen. Alan Nunnelee won the GOP nomination in the 1st district without a runoff.

Nunnelee took 51 percent of the vote in the race against former Europa Mayor Henry Ross and Fox News Channel commentator Angela McGlowan. McGlowan placed a distant third despite a last-minute endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- via Twitter!

Nunnelee will face Rep. Travis Childers (D) in the fall in a district that gave Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) 62 percent of the vote in 2008 and that will be a major GOP pickup target this fall.

Across the country in New Mexico, Dona Ana District Attorney Susana Martinez cruised to a victory in the GOP primary for governor.

"Susana Martinez's historic nomination is great news for New Mexico," said Republican Governors Association spokesman Tim Murtaugh. "

Martinez will face Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, who was unopposed for the Democratic nomination, in the fall.
