David Gunn (doctor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Gunn (died March 10, 1993) was a physician who specialized in OB/GYN. He was murdered at age 47 in Pensacola, Florida by Michael F. Griffin, a "pro-life" activist. He was the first of several doctors killed by "pro-life" extremists. Others include Barnett Slepian and John Britton (see Paul Jennings Hill). Gunn's murder led to the creation and passage of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
Gunn received his bachelors degree from Vanderbilt University and earned his M.D. at the University of Kentucky. Gunn moved to Brewton, Alabama, after his residency, choosing to provide OB/GYN services in rural America.
