Witness: Doctor Threatened Violence 2 Years Ago

WHEN YOU SAID A WEAPON WAS
INVOLVED?
I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A
KNIFE.
Reporter: MA'AM, CAN WE
TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED?
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME TO
MY KIDS BUT I WAS THERE
BECAUSE I HAD TO CHECK ME EARS
AND GET REPORTS FOR MY SON TO
GET A SUMMER JOB.
THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT
ABOUT WAS MY KIDS, THE SECOND
ORLANDO BECAUSE I WAS IN A
BATHROOM.
I'M SHAKING RIGHT NOW.
YOU CAN'T SEE IT BUT I'M HERE
FOR MY KIDS.
NUMBER 2, I KNOW HOW THE
PEOPLE IN ORLANDO FELT, ME AND
ANOTHER GIRL WERE IN THE
BATHROOM, MY PHONE WAS DEAD, I
COULDN'T CALL OR TEXT NOBODY
AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR 17
YEARS SO I'M WONDERING IF
ANYBODY I KNOW GOT HURT.
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO GOT
HURT.
BUT AS FAR AS WHO DID IT, I
KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT HIM BY
COMING TO THIS HOSPITAL FOR 17
YEARS.
BELLO WAS LET GO BECAUSE I
GUESS THEY FIGURED HE WAS
UNSTABLE.
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO
THIS.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE METAL
DETECTORS?
A DOCTOR GOT SHOT IN BROOKLYN
IN KINGS COUNTY.
THEY PUT METAL DETECTORS.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE SUIT FROM
THAT?
AT THIS HOSPITAL YOU CAN WALK
IN WITH NO ID.
HE WALKED IN WITH NO ID.
Reporter: WHEN YOU SAY HE
SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO THIS
--
TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THEY
FIRED HIM.
[ CROSSTALK ]
Reporter: TALKING AMONGST
US HE SAID IT.
AND HE DID IT.
IF WE WOULD HAVE METAL
DETECTORS, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE
HAPPENED.
Reporter: WHEN YOU HEARD
HIS NAME TODAY IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
HE SAID IT AND IT HAPPENED
TODAY TWO YEARS LATER.
PEOPLE SAY THINGS, YOU COME
OFF A WATCH LIST, YOU DON'T
PAY IT ANY MIND AND LOOK IT
HAPPENED TODAY.
IF WE WOULD HAVE HAD METAL
DETECTORS IT WOULDN'T HAVE
HAPPEN.
WHY DOES SOMETHING HAVE TO
HAPPEN FOR US TO FINALLY DO
SOMETHING?
I HOPE NOW WE GET METAL
DETECTORS.
I HOPE NOW THEY GET MORE
SERIOUS ON CHECKING
IDENTIFICATION.
EVEN IF YOU ARE A DOCTOR.
SO WHAT?
LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.
HE WAS A DOCTOR.
HE JUST WAS UNSTABLE.
AND THIS HAPPENED AND HE SAID
IT TWO YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS
LET GO HE WAS GOING TO KILL
PEOPLE.
Reporter: HOW DO YOU FEEL
NOW THAT YOU'RE OUTSIDE?
LIKE I SAID I'M GOING TO MY
KIDS.
I'M HAPPY.
I JUST CAME TO COME GET -- TO
GET MY SON A SUMMER JOB.
THEY COULD HAVE LOST THEIR
MOMMY.
I HAVE TWO BOYS.
I THINK OF ORLANDO ALL THE 50
SOMETHING PEOPLE THAT THAT MAN
THAT WAS KILLED, THEIR LAST
MOMENTS WERE TEXTING IN A
BATHROOM AND I WAS IN A
BATHROOM.
Reporter: ANY IDEA WHY HE
HAD BEEN FIRED?
HE WAS UNSTABLE AND
OBVIOUSLY HE REALLY WAS!
Reporter: DID YOU EVER
INTERACT WITH HIM PERSONALLY?
JUST IN PASTING, 17 YEARS,
YOU PASS PEOPLE DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENTS, EVEN IF YOU ARE
NOT GOING TO SEE THEM.
AND THEY SAID WHAT HAPPENED?
AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT
SUPPOSED TO TALK BUT YOU WORK
-- STAFFERS TALK.
AND HE SAID IT.
IT WAS SAID THAT HE SAID, HE
WAS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE.
TWO YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS LET
GO.
AND NOW LOOK.
TWO YEARS!
BUT IT HAPPENED.
Reporter: ARE YOU
SURPRISED?
YES AND NO.
BECAUSE IT IS TWO YEARS.
BUT YOU CAN'T LET THESE THINGS
GO.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT SERIOUS
BUT THIS THAT TIME, WE COULD
HAVE GOTTEN METAL DETECTORS.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE THAT?
AND NOW I HOPE THEY GET MORE
SERIOUS ABOUT CHECKING ID.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM SINCE
ALL THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN
GOING ON I DON'T MIND WAITING
HOURS AT THE AIRPORTS TO GET
CHECKED TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO BLOW UP
ANYTHING.
I DON'T MIND.
I'M PATIENT BECAUSE YOU'RE
TAKING CARE OF ME.
THIS HOSPITAL HAS TO GET MORE
SERIOUS ON CHECKING
IDENTIFICATION AND I HOPE THEY
FIND ROOM IN THE BUDGET, MR.
BRONX PRESIDENT ARE YOU
HEARING THIS?
THE BUDGET COMES FROM YOU.
CAN WE GET METAL DETECTORS
HERE?
PLEASE?
MA'AM, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
DEON MORALES.
Reporter: THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE OKAY.
I'M VALERIE.
VALERIE, THANK YOU.
Reporter: NICE TO MEET YOU.
GO HOME TO YOUR KIDS.
TAKE KID.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO
GO.
I HAVE TO ASK POLICE.
Reporter: SO YOU HEARD FROM
A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN COMING TO
THIS HOSPITAL FOR THE LAST 17
YEARS.
SHE HAD INTERACTIONS WITH THE
PERSON INVOLVED IN THIS AND
SHE SAID THAT TWO YEARS AGO,
HE APPARENTLY SAID THAT HE WAS
GOING TO KILL PEOPLE WHEN HE
WAS FIRED FROM THIS FACILITY.
AGAIN, SHE SAYS THAT IS THE
ALLEGATION THAT PEOPLE HAVE
HEARD THE RUMOR THAT WAS GOING
AROUND TWO YEARS AGO.
