The two Archangel-Portiz and a police officer from West York, Andrew Duarte, police officer, police officer. Order of the Urban Council had a non-violent criminal register with court documents, which showed that he was charged in 2016 for harassment and on February 13, just nine days before the shootout, was arrested with an exposed license.

The six injured people, none of whom was identified, include two police officers, a doctor, an nurse, an administrator and an employee who was injured in the fall. They are all in a stable state.

There was no official motive for the shootout. Only a few background information was offered through the shooters. Tim Barker, Prosecutor of District of York County, said that Archangel-Ortiz was in the UPMC intensive care unit at the beginning of the week to visit a patient he knew. Archangel-Ortiz allegedly had disagreements with the medical personnel regarding the treatment of the unknown person at that time.

Archangel-Ortiz went to the hospital on Saturday at 10:35 a.m. and wore a bag with a zipper and a pistol. He went to the intensive care unit, where he opened the staff and took people as hostage. He shot into the security of the hospital when they tried to intervene.

The police went into the formation to confront Archangel Ortiz, but had to withdraw when the shooter had a hostage with the gun held. At this point, according to Barker, the officers were “left without recourse, [and] Fire open. “Three police officers were hit during the change of shooting, with Duarte's wounds fatal. Archangel localiz was fatally shot.

Barker described the actions of the officers “undoubtedly” and added that “they had to use fatal violence”. Much of the Barker press conference was striving to enable legal reasons for the decision of the officials to open the fire. Official reports indicate that Archangel-Ortiz came into the hall of the hospital with the hosted weapon when the police opened the fire.

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro (D), spoke at the same press conference, praised the police authority and repeated her justifications for the police. Thanks to President Donald Trump for his “concern” for the community.

In the media comments, nothing was said about the political and social roots of mass shootings in the United States. In Shiloh, where UPMC is located, the per capita income for one person is only $ 23,625, almost $ 14,000 lower than the national average. According to United Way, 37 percent of York County's inhabitants had poorly employed at least one category Alice (Asset Limited, Income Restment) from 2018.

The official indifference to the lives of working people who are most evident in governments that enable COVID-19 to tear the communities checked is only an expression of a general social disaster that directly under the surface of communities on the Whole world and especially in the lurk, and especially in the us, the richest country in the world.

These conditions are the result of a cross -party policy of war, austerity measures and the subordination of a financialoligarchy. Democrats, including Shapiro, have largely dropped their criticism of Trump and committed their cooperation with his administration because it conducts demolition operation against social programs and federal jobs.

This year alone there have been 47 mass shootings in the United States, and since 2013 there were almost 6,600. Mass shootings were also internationally on the rise. It was only this month in Sweden that a shooter killed 10 people at the Risbergska Community School in Örebro.

The ruling class has no solution for the plague of mass shootings and instead the attention of its basic cause, the capitalist system, is distracted and instead demand more serious police work and nose substances such as weapons reform, while the immediate perpetrators completely indicate the guilt.
