Hospital security officer kills attacker
Healthcare Security Weekly, July 19, 2004
A security officer at a North Carolina hospital shot and killed the father of a teenage girl in labor on July 8, the Associated Press reported.
The father, Billy Ray Oxendine, 37, allegedly threatened to kill the officer with a knife in the labor and delivery unit at Southeastern Regional Medical Center in Lumberton, NC.
Lumberton Police Chief Robert Grice said the shooting occurred late in the evening after security guard Johnny Thompson broke up a fight between the girl's father and boyfriend. Thompson then shot Oxendine with his .357 magnum, Grice said.
Thompson has not been charged with a crime. The incident is under investigation.
