A West York Borough police officer and a gunman were killed and multiple people were injured after shots were fired at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York County, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, officials said.

York County District Attorney Tim Barker said the man went inside UPMC with a bag carrying a handgun and zip ties. The man then went straight to the hospital's ICU and fired the gun, injuring three staff members, including a doctor, nurse and custodian, the Associated Press reported.


A responding officer was killed in a shootout, while two others were injured before the gunman was fatally shot.

"We have received confirmed reports of a gunman at UPMC Memorial, and shots fired. The gunman is deceased, and no patients have been injured. The hospital is now secure but is on divert," UPMC said on social media Saturday.

1. ICU? Don't they have a lot of O2 pipelines in ICUs?

Muzzle flash is a real thing and not something one wants where O2 might be in use.

I fear we are gonna be seeing a lot of 'suicides by cop' with gun toting, unhinged, perhaps laid off and/or no more medical insurance people reaching desperation level. Things gonna get worse.
