Wilmington Hospital on Lockdown

A hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, is on lockdown after two people were shot inside, according to the Wilmington Police Department. The shooting occurred around 3:30 p.m. at the Wilmington Hospital, located about 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia.

Investigation Ongoing

Law enforcement responded to the scene, and several agencies, including the FBI and Delaware State Police, are assisting in the investigation. Incoming emergency patients will be diverted to other hospitals, according to ChristianaCare, the system that oversees Wilmington Hospital.

Brian Pfeffer, a patient guide at the hospital, was working in the emergency room when he heard two loud shots. Pfeffer fled the emergency room and ran outside before the hospital was placed on lockdown. He noted that it was alarming to experience a shooting in his workplace, especially in a hospital where people typically feel secure.
