BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – A gunman opened fire at a Birmingham, Alabama, hospital, wounding two men before turning the gun on himself Wednesday night, police said.
Birmingham police Lt. Peter Williston said police were called at 6:55 p.m. Police found two victims along with gunman who died of self-inflicted gunshot, Williston said.
Capt. H.R. Watson of Birmingham Fire and Rescue told news reporters that one victim was in critical condition with multiple wounds.
He said authorities are unsure of the shooter’s relation to the victims and whether the victims worked at the hospital. He added that police “still have a lot to find out.”
Police say the scene is secure and authorities issued an “all clear” alert about 7:45 p.m. after ordering students to shelter-in-place.
