The Campbell Clinic Orthopedics in Oxford closed Wednesday after one of its surgeons at their Collierville clinic was shot and killed by a patient Tuesday.
Police responded to the clinic in Collierville around 2 p.m. Tuesday after reports of shots fired.
Dr. Benjamin Mauck, a surgeon who specialized in elbow, hand and wrist surgery was shot and killed while in the exam room with Larry Pickens, 29, of Memphis.
Pickens was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault. He is being held on a $1.2 million bond.
Police told local news media that Pickens had been at the clinic for several hours; however, they did not yet have a clear motive for the shooting as of Tuesday evening.
Campbell Clinic said they were closing all of their clinics Wednesday. It was unknown whether the clinics would reopen Thursday.
The Oxford clinic is located off South Lamar Boulevard and is one of nine clinics around north Mississippi and Tennessee.
Mauck was recently named one of the top doctors in Memphis by Memphis Magazine. He worked at Campbell Clinic since 2012. Mauck was also the director of the Congenital Hand Deformities Clinic Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.
