Cardiologist for former President H.W. Bush killed in bicycle drive-by shooting

WFLA: HOUSTON (AP) – A cardiologist who once treated former President George H.W. Bush was fatally shot by a fellow bicyclist Friday while riding through a Houston medical complex, and police were trying to determine if the shooting was random or a targeted act.

The shooting happened around 9 a.m. as Dr. Mark Hausknecht was going northbound through the Texas Medical Center, said Houston Police Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner.

“The suspect was on a bicycle as well. Rode past the doctor, turned and fired two shots. The doctor immediately went down,” Finner said.

Hausknecht, 65, hit at least once, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.

Hausknecht was going in to work at Houston Methodist Hospital when he was shot, the hospital’s CEO said in an email to staff.

The area where the shooting took place is part of a 1,345-acre complex of hospitals and medical institutions, including the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and is busy with traffic and pedestrians during the day.

Authorities late Friday continued searching for the suspect, who was wearing a gray warmup jacket, khaki shorts and a tan baseball cap.  more here

  1. Noticed this story earlier on the evening news Friday. This is characteristic of normal operating procedure of the progressive elite socialist state. Anyone they consider a threat is eliminated. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

  3. How could the killer have been riding a bike as well? What is this, hot fuzz?

    It seems extremely likely that this was a hit, as for who called it on him… probably the Bush dynasty themselves. The poor fella just knew too much.

  5. Where’s the vid? These medical campuses/centers have cameras, for liability alone.

    Does anyone live in the area to know this place? Can the above be confirmed?

    Is it in a good a BAD neighborhood…ehem…community?

    GO there tomorrow and see what level of activity?

    Is the crime scene being ‘washed’ away? You know, wiped like with a rag?

    Did the Dr have a regular riding route?

    A former ‘spooks’, former doctor…yeah okay.

    IF true? An AMAZING way of carrying out…a bicycle, maybe with a small motor, can make for a great getaway vehicle.
