The street outside is currently closed, and armed ATF agents are at the scene.
Police are trying to figure out who the suspect is and where they could be.
Sources indicate that the shooting took place in the hospital’s basement and may not have been a random act, potentially arising from a domestic dispute.
Sources also told Local 4 that the suspect may have exited through the hospital’s front door.
We spoke to a woman named Carmen, who is inside the hospital with a loved one who is having a procedure.
“I was sitting out on the west entrance in an area by the window, and we heard over the loudspeaker there was a code blue in the basement,” she said. “Then we heard a lot of yelling, and it appeared a nurse was trying to clear the hallway by where I was sitting, and shuffled everyone in the hallway down to the waiting area that I was sitting in outside of the surgery center.”
Local 4 has a crew at the scene gathering more information.
There is no indication that this shooting is connected to the one that happened in the area earlier today.
