   The disgruntled patient who shot and killed a top hand surgeon in   
   the exam room in Memphis yesterday after threatening him for a week   
   has been identified as Larry Pickens.   
      
   Pickens, 29, shot and killed Dr. Benjamin Mauck at the Campbell   
   Clinic in Collierville, Memphis, at 2pm.   
      
   It remains unclear what the shooter's motive was. Until yesterday,   
   he had no criminal record.   
      
   Collierville Police Department is refusing to discuss the details   
   of the shooting, citing the ongoing criminal investigation.   
      
   Pickens is being held on a $1.2million bond and will appear in   
   court tomorrow. He was arrested outside the clinic yesterday after   
   fleeing with his pistol. His last known address is around 10 miles   
   from the clinic.   
      
   Larry Pickens, 29, has been named as the suspect who shot surgeon   
   Benjamin Mauck   
   Surgeon Benjamin Mauck with his wife Rhiannon. The pair shared two   
   young children

   Dr Mauck, 43, was remembered as a phenomenal doctor.   
      
   Many of his patients, who lauded him as 'kind, funny, and smart,'   
   said he saved their lives with his vital work.   
      
   He leaves behind a wife and two young children.   
   Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Benjamin Mauck was killed in his examination   
   room at the Campbell Clinic in Collierville   
      
   Collierville Police Chief Dale Lane said: 'It's bad. It's horrific.   
   It's terrible.   
      
   'So, this appears to be a one-on-one interaction that occurred   
   within an exam room. This was not a mass shooting situation.'   
      
   In an update, the police department wrote: 'The suspect in this   
   incident is in custody as we continue to investigate.   
      
   'This was a single shooting, not an active shooting incident.'   
      
   'Tragedies like this underscore the urgent need for common sense –   
   like reinstating background checks and gun licenses, and   
   establishing new reforms like an order of protection so police can   
   remove firearms from a person who is threatening others,' Akbari   
   said in a statement.   
      
   'Whether you’re at school, a grocery store or on the job, you   
   deserve to live and work free from gun violence.'   
      
   Dr Mauck leaves behind his wife, Rhiannon Mauck, and their two   
   young children.   
      
   Just five days ago, Dr Mauck was heralded in the Memphis Magazine   
   and by the national medical group Castle Connolly as one of the   
   city's top doctors in a gushing feature.

   Officers rushed to the scene and found the suspect on Poplar Avenue   
   near the entrance of the clinic with a gun. The shooter was taken   
   into custody   
      
   Dr Mauck told the magazine just last month: 'It's never boring.   
      
   'This work involves treating sports injuries, trauma, cancer, and   
   soft-tissue defects. It's a field of orthopedics that crosses over   
   into other specialties like plastic surgery and neurology.'   
      
   He warned before the Fourth of July: 'Keep your kids away from   
   fireworks.'   
      
   He worked as a hand surgeon at Campbell Clinic Orthopedics and was   
   also the head of the Congenital Hand Clinic at Le Bonheur   
   Children's Hospital. According to the clinic's website, Mauck   
   specialized in elbow, hand, and wrist surgery.   
      
   Dr Mauck graduated from Lambuth University in 2002, before   
   attending med school at the University of Tennessee-Memphis. He   
   then completed his residency at UT-Campbell Clinic.   
      
   Irina Ollar, director of marketing and PR at Campbell Clinic, said   
   in a statement: 'Earlier today, we experienced a single shooter   
   event inside our Collierville clinic.   
      
   'We are shocked and heartbroken to confirm the incident resulted in   
   the tragic loss of one of our highly respected and beloved   
   physicians, Dr. Ben Mauck. We ask that you please lift his family   
   in prayer.   
      
   'During this difficult time, we will be working through many   
   details and will keep you updated as we are able.   
   Collierville Police Chief Dale Lane said: 'It's bad. It's horrific.   
   It's terrible'
