Birmingham police are on the scene at Saint Vincent's Hospital this morning, where somebody fired a gun early this morning.
We have now learned that a police officer and two hospital employees were injured during that shooting, and they have been taken to UAB hospital.
Their injuries were not life threatening.
The gunman was killed during the shooting.
Police say that the public is not in any danger, and that the situation is under control.
Our reporter on the scene says additional nurses have been called in to work.

OTHER SOURCES:
A family friend called this morning to tell me that a distant cousin was in surgery at St. Vincents Hospital in Birmingham, AL.
He worked there and was assisting with a patient that had been brought in by the police.
A policeman was also in the emergency room watching the patient.
My cousin was shot in the leg and in the back, by a gunman who came into the room later.
That's al I know at this time.

An armed security guard or policeman stopped a rampage against hospitalized innocents.
Chalk one up to armed protection working.

A good guy was armed.
We are going to see retaliation against deathcare killers. Everyone thinks they have the right to free health care and they are not going to be abused by socialists who decide who can live and who must be killed based on a communist government economic formula.
I would not want to be the doctor killing off granny
or junior (giving her “pain pills) in America. Nor would I want to be the doctor carrying out the socialist eugenics policy in any, way, shape or form against Americans. Liberals idealized revenge and named it social justice. It’s a double edged sword.

You cant bring a gun into a hospital!!!!!!
How the living hell did he break through the ethereal legal shield that surrounds a hospital where a person is usually flung back into the street the moment they step onto the property?
The NRA is like messing with physics and junk!

CORRECTION: My cousin was shot in the back and the foot, not the leg.

Have the first shots in CW 2 been fired? Is this the clown's Reichstag fire?
IMHO these events are not coincidental.
Within a couple of days - if not on the Sunday gas bag shows - we will be hearing that WH clown has a "MANDATE" to restrict, or even throw out, the 2nd Amendment for "the sake of the children". No Constitutional proposal or vote will be necessary because clown will be deemed to have been given a "MANDATE" by the media and public to ban all guns that ____________ you fill in the blank.

Yes, thank God they had an armed policeman on duty. More people could have been hurt. This is what seems to be needed at schools and public places. As sad as it is to admit - the times call for security where there are masses of people congregated. What a mess society is in!
We are in what Jesus said prior to his second coming: He says in Matt. 24:37-38: But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, (Gen.6-7)
Gen. 6:11-12 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

I’m very sorry that took place. Here’s to hoping your cousin makes a good recovery.

While we’re at it, I’d like to see some stats on whether they attend church regularly or not too.

“...by a gunman who came into the room later.”
Sounds like someone didn’t think the argument was finished.
