A patient is accused of driving away from a Florida dental practice pointing a gun at the staff inside the waiting room on April 30, according to NBC-2.
The patient was visiting Bonita Dental Care in Bonita Springs, Fla., for a routine visit. A camera caught him removing his dental bib two different times in 10 minutes and pacing around the room.
When staff members re-entered the room, Mr. King was allegedly more impatient.
"I'll give it about eight minutes before I go straight up bipolar," he was heard saying on camera, NBC-2 reports.
After the patient left the practice, the staff locked the front door so he would not re-enter. The patient allegedly sat in the parking lot for several minutes before driving slowly away from the practice and pointing a gun the staff.
Since the incident, Bonita Dental Care is taking steps to train staff how to react to emergency situations.
