Police: Former colleague kills Yale doctor at home

BRANFORD, Conn. — Police say a gunman killed a Yale University doctor outside his Connecticut home and may have had a dispute with him at the New York hospital where both men worked.

Branford police Lt. Geoffrey Morgan says the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Vajinder Toor early Monday was not random.

Police have a suspect in custody and plan to charge him with murder and attempted murder but have not released his name.

Toor was killed in the parking lot of his condominium complex by a man who also fired at his pregnant wife. She was not injured.

Toor worked at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in New York before joining Yale. Morgan says police are investigating whether Toor and the gunman had “some sort of negative interaction” on the job.
