Court and police records show the man arrested in connection to the shooting at a Buffalo, Minnesota clinic had made threats against the clinic and its staff in the past.
Sixty-seven-year-old Gregory Ulrich has been arrested in connection to the shooting at Allina Clinic Crossroads that killed one person and injured four others Tuesday morning.
According to a restraining order that was granted in November 2018, Ulrich had previously been prohibited from being at the clinic unless he was transported by medical personnel. He was also barred from contacting one of the clinic’s doctors.
The restraining order says Ulrich had made harassing phone calls and threats to the doctor that had "a substantial adverse effect" on the doctor’s "safety, security, or privacy."

Ulrich also allegedly stated that "killing one individual wouldn’t be enough" adding that he had "practiced different scenarios….since he knew he only had seconds after getting past security to achieve his goal," according to court records.
The doctor who requested the restraining order had called police in October 2018 and said Ulrich had talked about "shooting, blowing things up, and practicing different scenarios of how to get revenge," according to a police report.
A nurse also said that Ulrich had become irate while attempting to get his medical records during another visit to the clinic that fall.
In an affidavit filed to support the restraining order, the nurse said, "I was fearful for my safety and the safety of others in the hospital."
ABC News also spoke to Ulrich’s brother, Richard, who hadn’t heard the news at the time and said he had not talked to his brother in a few months. Richard Ulrich added that his brother had back surgery a couple of years ago and was put on opioids, which he believes led his brother to the clinic Tuesday morning.
Buffalo Police Chief Pat Budke had also said the police department has handled several calls involving Ulrich since 2003.
