5 dead, including shooter, in mass shooting at Saint Francis

(TULSA, Okla.) On Wednesday, 6/1/2022, at approximately 4:52 p.m., Tulsa Police responded to a call about an armed man on the Saint Francis Health System campus. The suspect, now identified as Michael Louis, entered the Natalie Building through the second floor where he started shooting, killing four people before killing himself. 

At the scene, Tulsa Police found the suspect who still was in possession of a .223 caliber semi-automatic rifle and a .40 caliber pistol – both of which were believed to have been used in the shooting. Crime Scene Detectives recovered 30 .223-caliber casings, and seven .40-caliber casings. Also recovered from the suspect’s person was a note that explained what led him to this day and his intent to kill his doctor, Preston J. Phillips, and anyone who got in his way. 

Through the investigation, it has been determined that the shooting is directly related to a grievance the suspect had in reference to a back surgery procedure done for him by Dr. Phillips. 

The suspect’s aforementioned surgery was done on May 19th and he was released from the hospital on the 24th. The suspect called several times and complained to Dr. Phillip’s office about the procedure. On May 31st, the suspect was seen by Dr. Phillips to address the issue. Dissatisfied with the treatment, the suspect called on June 1st to complain again. 

On June 1st the suspect parked his car on the second level of the parking garage, which has direct access to the Natalie building and Dr. Phillips’ office. The suspect brought the semi-automatic rifle that was purchased approximately one hour before and the semi-automatic pistol that was purchased 3 days prior to the incident. 

Once in the office area, he began shooting and searching for Dr. Phillips. Four victims were shot and killed by the suspect. The victims were:
