Abdo Ibssa believed a doctor had implanted a tracking chip in his body and was beset with legal and financial woes when police say he killed a woman, wounded two others and then killed himself Monday at Parkwest Medical Center.

Ibssa, who would have turned 39 Tuesday, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Ethiopia, used a stolen .357-caliber magnum pistol to shoot the women and then himself about 4:34 p.m. Monday, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said Tuesday.

Ibssa was suffering psychological problems and had been committed by his family to a mental health facility in February, Owen said. Police have yet to determine what facility treated him or when he was released.

Owen said a half-page, handwritten note police found in his apartment after the shooting led police to determine that Ibssa believed the surgeon had implanted a computer chip in his body during the procedure. Inside Ibssa's maroon 1996 Nissan Maxima investigators found a book entitled "The Official CIA Manual of Tracking and Deception." Police also found Haloperidol, a drug prescribed for psychotic conditions, at the apartment.

Owen said the victims were walking out of the hospital when Ibssa fired four shots at the women from the .357 magnum, then pointed the seven-shot revolver to his head and fired a final shot.

Ibssa's ex-wife, Firee Jawhal, filed a request in 4th Circuit Court in November to force Ibssa to pay child support for their 4-year-old son. She is also a native of Ethiopia and is a pharmacist living in Stone Mountain, Ga.
