Robert Flor, 47, launched into a “profanity-laced outburst” at a hearing Thursday where he announced he wanted to get rid of his attorneys, Doylestown Intellegencer court reporter Laurie Mason Shroeder said in an article. She also reported Flor complained about the lawyers work on his case.

Flor, according to the article, was represented by a team from the Federal Defender’s Association.

Flor shot Brian Gregg, who was born in Bristol Borough and raised in Levittown, at St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown following a DUI arrest. Flor also shot a hospital employee, who survived, after he took the gun from Gregg’s fellow Newtown patrolman.  A large manhunt ensued after and Flor was found hiding in a car on the hospital grounds.

The 47-year-old is on death row but has yet to use all of his appeals.

Flor was revealed in court to have had several run-ins with Falls and Middletown police prior to the murder of the officer.
