How they died

Deadly force

Marchetti, a former employee who recently lost his job, entered the hospital shortly before 10 a.m. armed with a rifle and a handgun and opened fire, according to troopers. One of his victims, Mike Webb, died, said hospital spokeswoman Bonnie Nichols. A second victim, Margaret Stroup, was shot several times and is still in surgery but her condition has been upgraded to stable, Nichols said. The gunman, Joseph A. Marchetti, 48, was shot during a standoff with police and troopers in the hospital parking lot and died.
