Doctor Charged in Yale Doctor Killing Due in Court

A former doctor charged with killing a Yale University doctor he once worked with is due back in court on Monday.

Lishan Wang is scheduled to appear in New Haven Superior Court. He was charged with shooting Dr. Vajinder Toor to death last year outside Toor's home in Branford.

Authorities said Wang had confrontations with Toor and other coworkers at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in New York, which led to his dismissal

A judge ruled Wang incompetent to stand trial last September, but said he believed psychiatric treatment would restore Wang to competency. A psychiatrist testified in December he believed Wang was competent, but defense lawyers challenged that opinion.

A judge ruled in February Wang has been restored to competency.
