Early this morning, at St Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, a man was walking around with a gun. He opened fire wounding three people before he was shot dead.
Birmingham Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Johnny Williams told WAFF that the gunman positioned himself in a hallway and shot at the officer and the hospital staff members as they stepped out of an elevator. Another police officer reportedly came around the corner, alerted by the noise, and fatally shot the gunman.
The AP story reports detectives are still trying to find out why he was in the hospital with a gun.
Does it matter why?
