BUFFALO, Minn. (FOX 9) - The suspect charged in the shooting at the Allina Health clinic in Buffalo has been ruled competent to stand trial, the court decided Wednesday.

According to the criminal complaint, on Feb. 9, Ulrich took public transportation to the clinic from the motel at which he was staying. When he arrived, clinic staff asked if they could help him. He responded by pulling out a handgun and threatening staff.

Then, Ulrich reportedly moved into the interior of the clinic, where he shot three more people. He then reportedly called 911 on himself.
