A jury has found a man guilty of murder and other counts in a shooting attack on a Wright County medical clinic last year that killed one staff member and wounded four others.
Jurors deliberated for six hours Thursday before reaching a verdict against Gregory Ulrich in the Feb. 9, 2021 shooting incident at the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo that killed medical assistant Lindsay Oberbay.
Sentencing is June 17, two weeks from Friday.
Allina released this statement after the jury's verdict was read:
According to state law, Ulrich faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole on his conviction for premeditated first-degree murder.
That was the most serious of the charges he was convicted of.
Prosecutors began closing arguments by naming each person who was shot, calling them "innocent, defenseless victims who were front-line workers in the medical field."
Ulrich's attorney tried to dispel the notion that the attack was premeditated. Investigators have said Ulrich was addicted to opioids and angry his supply had been cut off.
