| Police: Suspect admitted to crimes |
The man who police say killed three people Thursday at Doctors Hospital confessed to the shootings hours later while being treated for a gunshot wound.
Charles Johnston, 63, was rolled Monday in a wheelchair into Columbus Recorder's Court, where Columbus Police Detective Katina Williams testified that the man who once taught at Muscogee County schools told her he shot Peter David Wright, 44, Leslie A. Harris, 44, and John Baker, 76.
The three men died Thursday when Johnston used a 9 mm pistol to kill Wright, whom he believed was the nurse responsible for his mother's death in 2004, Williams said. Harris, an administrative assistant with the hospital, was shot as Johnston stepped onto an elevator. Baker was shot as he sat in his pickup truck next to Johnston's tan station wagon.
