Breaking: Hospital Locked Down After Active Shooter Report

Early Thursday morning, Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, located 24 miles north of Detroit, was thrust into chaos following reports of an active shooter on the premises. The alarming situation began at around 7 a.m., triggering a swift response from local authorities. Law enforcement quickly issued a shelter-in-place order, as hospital employees barricaded themselves inside while the scene unfolded.

The shooting left a 25-year-old man wounded, having been shot twice in the arm. Fortunately, the victim was treated for his injuries and is currently in stable condition. Early reports suggest that the shooting was an isolated incident, with the gunman—identified as a hospital employee—firing shots at a co-worker in what authorities described as a “targeted attack.” It was later revealed that the gunman fired five shots in the hospital’s parking lot, one of which hit a nearby vehicle.

Following the shooting, a manhunt ensued, with authorities working tirelessly to locate and apprehend the suspect. According to reports from 7 News Detroit, the suspect was eventually arrested at a home in Macomb Township after he surrendered to police. The suspect reportedly answered a phone call from law enforcement, who instructed him to exit the residence. Despite the arrest, the identity of the suspect has not yet been confirmed by authorities.

As the situation unfolded, the hospital employees were left in a state of shock and uncertainty. Many shared their personal accounts of the terrifying moments during the lockdown. One medical assistant recalled, “I was getting into the parking lot, getting ready to walk in, and another coworker was screaming to get in my car—there was an active shooter.” She described seeing police officers with guns drawn, walking in a line through the parking garage. “It’s scary. You go to your workplace thinking you’re going to be safe,” she added.
