GLASGOW - A coroner's inquest was told Tuesday that Glasgow hospital shooter Roger Sellers died of a shotgun blast from a law officer after Sellers charged at two officers with a knife.

Authorities say the 42-year-old Sellers killed a woman and wounded two others in a sniper-style shooting earlier that day outside the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow.

Killed in the January 17th shooting was Melissa Greenhagen, an emergency medical technician and Valley County District Court clerk. Nurse Suzanne Billingsley and her husband, Scott, were wounded.

Scott Billingsley testified Tuesday that he shot at Sellers with a 9 mm handgun after Sellers shot Greenhagen.
