Shooting, hostage situation reported at Johns Hopkins Hospital
« on: September 16, 2010, 11:04:19 AM »
Baltimore police were swarming John Hopkins Hospital, where there were reports a person has been shot and that a man has taken a hostage on the eighth floor of one of the buildings, according to authorities and correspondence over the police radio.

Hopkins sounded an emergency alert about 11:15 a.m. at Nelson 8, a thoracic center on its sprawling East Baltimore campus. Police have shut down numerous roads in the area of Broadway, East Monument and North Wolf streets.

Baltimore police did not offer any immediate comment. One officer on the radio asked, "Do we have a description of this guy?"

Another officer said the quick-response team, or SWAT, is at the hospital. The officer said on the radio that a man is "inside the building with his mother and he wants to kill his mom."

No immediate details could be obtained to confirm a shooting or who was shot.

A gunman shot a doctor at the world-famous Johns Hopkins medical complex in Baltimore Thursday morning and barricaded himself in his mother's hospital room.

A SWAT team shot the suspect dead after a tense three hours.

The doctor, whose name was not released, was in critical condition with a bullet in the chest, but expected to live, police said.

Is this being covered on MSM? If it is not then we know the shooter is not a Amish guy.  :fuelfire: Prayers.

It figures...... a hospital. They are typically a disarmament zone, making victims out of people that MIGHT otherwise be able to defend themselves....
