This is EXACTLY why you aren't supposed to have weapons in hospitals.

Well every baby will eventually, when they mature, wonder who their father is or where they come from.

If life is anything like the movies, the kid will grow up thinking his dad died in a car accident. When he's either just starting college or just out of it, depending on the genre of his life, strange events will begin to occur with increasing frequency. In the midst of the nonsensical confusion of all the strange happenings, he'll find out from a close family member/friend/priest that his father actually shot himself moments after his birth, and in the very same room no less. This will lead to the inevitable (and inevitably bad) climax because somehow it has some shoddy and tenuous connection to everything that's been happening, and he'll either die if we're lucky or solve the mystery and live regularly ever after.

Or he'll become a serial killer and a blood spatter analyst in the police force.
