US Ex-President George Bush's cardiologist killed
Washington, July 21 : A cardiologist who treated former US President George H.W. Bush, has been killed in a bicycle-to-bicycle drive-by shooting near Texas Medical Center in Houston, authorities said.
Mark Hausknecht, 65, was killed on Friday around 9 a.m. It could have been either a random or a targeted incident, the Houston Police Department said as a probe got underway.
"As the suspect rode past the doctor, he turned and fired two shots. The doctor immediately went down," Houston Police Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner said.
Hausknecht flagged down a passing ambulance for help as the shooter fled the scene. The doctor was taken to Ben Taub Hospital, were he later died.
Police continue to search for the suspect, who was wearing a grey warmup jacket, khaki shorts and a tan baseball cap, the USA Today reported.
A spokesman of the former president said Bush was deeply saddened by the doctor's death, who in 2000 had appeared at a news conference with him after the leader was treated for an irregular heartbeat, Xinhua news agency reported.

YouTuber and his girlfriend rescued from drowning by IPS officer in Goa
Mumbai, Dec 26: Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia has said he and his girlfriend were swept away by an underwater current on Christmas evening in Goa but were rescued by another couple.
Allahbadia, who goes by the name of BeerBiceps on social media, shared his story on Instagram on Wednesday evening.
He thanked an IPS officer and his IRS wife for saving their lives.
"We're perfectly fine & well now. But yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation. We both love swimming in the open ocean. I've been doing this since I was a kid. But yesterday we got swept away by an underwater current," the YouTuber said.
"This has happened to me before but I've never been alongside a companion. It's easy to swim out of one alone. It's very hard to pull someone out with you. After a 5-10 minute struggle, we called for help and were promptly rescued by a family of five swimming nearby," he added.
Allahbadia said the experience has left both of them feeling "blank as well as grateful". "We felt the protection of God throughout the incident,” he added.
