Hospital Lockdown in Wilmington, DE

A hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, is on lockdown after two people were shot inside, police say. Law enforcement responded around 3:30 p.m. to the Wilmington Hospital, located about 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia, after reports of a shooting incident, according to the Wilmington Police Department.

Several agencies, including the FBI and Delaware State Police, rushed to the scene to assist. Incoming emergency patients will be diverted to other hospitals, according to ChristianaCare, the system that oversees Wilmington Hospital.

The investigation was still active Tuesday evening, and police had yet to publicly identify a suspect. “Anytime there’s any shooting incident, it’s always difficult,” David Karas, the Wilmington Police Department spokesperson, told reporters. “It’s certainly not what a community wants, and we’re going to make sure to get to the bottom of it and hold the individual responsible.”
