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."
Neck tat is a key give away of the potential to violence. Face tats for extra points.
No moron. The security guard shot the bad guy as he was supposed to. Then the very same medical personnel he attacked saved his life. It’s a comment in the decency of the killers targets. Try to keep up.
Be made a public statement blaming the parole board.
