Authorities have not yet provided additional details about the suspect or a possible motive. The hospital has since resumed normal operations, but the investigation is ongoing. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they work to piece together the events leading up to the shooting.
The incident has raised concerns about safety in healthcare facilities, which are typically seen as secure environments. Corewell Health has not commented on whether additional security measures will be implemented following the attack. Meanwhile, the community remains on edge as officials continue their search for answers.
