\"\"NEW YORK\u00a0 (AP)\u00a0 New York City\u2019s mayor says one doctor is dead and several others are fighting for their lives after a gunman opened fire at a New York City hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke at a news conference Friday, hours after a doctor with a rifle concealed in his lab coat started shooting inside Bronx Lebanon Hospital.<\/p>\n

Police say five of the injured were seriously wounded, and one had a gunshot wound to the leg.<\/p>\n

Police Commissioner James O\u2019Neill says the shooter then apparently tried to set himself on fire before turning the gun on himself.<\/p>\n

A law enforcement official identified the shooter as Dr. Henry Bello, who used to work at the hospital.<\/p>\n

The gunfire broke out at 2:50 p.m. Friday inside the Bronx Lebanon Hospital in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
