Security officer and doctors capture gun wielding man
Healthcare Security Weekly, November 7, 2005
A pair of doctors and a security officer at Spokane (WA) Veterans Administration Hospital helped bring a man with three firearms into custody last week, reports KIROTV.com in Spokane.
A doctor at the hospital first noticed the armed man in a breezeway at the back of the facility near the emergency room. After the doctor called security, the security officer and two doctors talked the armed man into putting down his assault rifle and handgun.
When police later took the man into custody, they found another handgun on the man.
The hospital had previously treated the man at the center and he reportedly told people he wanted to commit suicide.
