NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- A judge has ordered a competency hearing for an unemployed doctor charged with killing a Yale University physician he once worked with.
Lishan Wang is accused of shooting Vajinder Toor on April 26 outside Toor's home in Branford. Police say he also fired at Toor's pregnant wife but missed.
Confrontations with Toor and others at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in New York led to Wang's dismissal two years ago. Wang recently lived in Marietta, Ga.
In court Tuesday, Wang indicated he wished to act as his own attorney in the murder case.
Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano ordered a competency evaluation to determine if Wang understands the legal proceedings and can assist in his own defense.
Wang is due back in court on Sept. 27.
