Hospital security guard injured in shootout
Healthcare Security Weekly, March 5, 2007
A security guard at the Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, MO, was shot in the leg after he and other guards traded gunshots February 27 with a carload of gunmen, reported KSHB-TV.
Police said the shooting happened around 3 a.m. outside the hospital emergency room. Investigators said that earlier in the night security guards ejected two men from the hospital for causing a disturbance.
The men returned later and shot at the guards standing outside the hospital. The security guards fired back and shattered the back window of the suspects' car, reported KMBC-TV. Police later found the vehicle abandoned.
