DALLAS - Two hospital employees were killed in a shooting at Methodist Dallas Medical Center on Saturday morning.

Dallas police say the shooting happened inside the hospital on 1400 block of North Beckley Avenue around 11 a.m. on Saturday.

The hospital says according to its preliminary investigation the suspect shot and killed the employees, and was then confronted by a Methodist Health System police officer.

The officer shot the suspect, 30-year-old Nestor Hernandez, injuring him. He was then detained, stabilized and transported to another hospital for treatment.

The CEO of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas said the suspect shot two maternity ward nurses. An officer in the area saw the suspect with a gun and fired a single shot, hitting Hernandez.

Methodist Health System Police arrested Hernandez for Capital Murder.

Dallas Police say Hernandez is currently on parole for aggravated robbery and had an active ankle monitor at the time of the shooting.

Dallas police chief Eddie Garcia called the shooting "an abhorrent failure of our criminal justice system."

RE:DA has blood on his hands.....
“Dallas Police say Hernandez is currently on parole for aggravated robbery....

Sorry to disagree. This is EXACTLY the American criminal justice system. Exactly.

Its replacement is on the way. If Americans didn’t want the new one then they should have demanded a legal system which did not fully tilt in the direction of protecting criminals and letting them get out of jail free. Now the people have to suffer for what they did.

Exactly. It would have been a great time to run some errands, pick up the dry cleaning, grab some donuts, get the car washed.....

RE: Hospitals are soft targets. Very soft targets. I feel defenceless when I’m in one.

//////////////////////////////////////
True.
Often a kind hearted security guard every 1-2,000 feet who has been conditioned to be chatty and kind but when really needed may get shot twice by an offender within the first minute of the crisis. And no officer in the long corridors where all the battered women or children in disputed custody cases or witnesses in local trials are in rooms.

I remember one time visiting at the hospital and three nurses were quietly saying “We didn’t even know she had a husband. The deputies got his gun away before he reached her room.”

I work at a hospital. Despite the security guards, it is a very soft target.

Didn’t Hernandez see the gun free zone signs?

The hospital I work at in Toms River, NJ has armed officers, all with Glock 9’s.

And there is an almost constant police presence in the building because suspects, drunks, prisoners from the near by county jail are constantly bought in for treatment. There is an unarmed security unit too made up mostly of young, muscular dudes and large, Amazon type black girls. It's a secure building.

Sadly it is a requirement in today’s world. How big is your hospital and how many officers are on duty at any one time? The hospitals in my area are hugh. It is being reported that this scum bag went to the delivery wing - I suspect most incidents take place in the ED.

The security officer’s action prove the worth of well-trained, armed security officers, and a well-earned “Thank you”.

Taking these animals into custody is a waste of time and money and robs victims and their families of justice in the courts today. SHOOT THE SOB.

What the hell are you talking about? Thanks captain obvious. I was mentioning how medical personnel sprang into action and the hospital attacked saved the life of that killer. Thank you… try to keep up.

At any time there's at least six armed security guards in the building and there is an almost constant police presence in this hospital.

Our ‘’labor and delivery’’ as maternity wards are called now is on the fifth floor of this building. That's the top floor and you don't get on to it unless you go through several checkpoints and you're closely watched.

Our “L&D’’ unit is on the top floor so in the event of an ‘’elopement''(an abduction) the elevators can be shut down and the stairways blocked. Yeah most incidents of the... unpredictable kind happen in the ER. You see the whole parade of the human condition. I remember once an elderly woman was bought in, on her own two feet, who looked old as sin and stood barely five foot. I don't know what in the world granny did but she had about four cops, one of our armed security guards and two other security guards escorting her in. God only knows. Granny must have offed somebody.

I really don’t know, the name just popped out from one of my memory neurons. It is about one block from the Methodist hospital.

Excellent. Sounds like a well thought out plan and execution. Not sure every facility has those kinds of plans.

I worked in a Hosp. many years ago. And we had bullet proof glass in the ER...and armed officers with canines...walking the halls. That was in SOCAL.

I've also worked in Hosp's...that someone or two someone's could come in and cause mass murders...easily.

32 I see that literacy, comprehension and clarity are not you strong points.

The security officer is Not medical staff. Two separate groups.

However, my son as a federal police officer used his basic medical training to help two heart attack victims in his patrol area.
