@sacramentourbanmedia916: A 23-year-old man was arrested in Philadelphia on Tuesday night in connection with a shooting at Wilmington Hospital in Delaware that left one person dead and another wounded, authorities said. According to Wilmington Police Chief Wilfredo Campos, officers responded to reports of gunfire at Wilmington Hospital shortly after 3:30 p.m. When police arrived, they discovered two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. One victim was pronounced dead, while information about the second victim’s condition was not immediately released. Officials described the incident as a targeted attack and emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the public. The suspect remains in custody and is awaiting extradition to Delaware, where charges are expected to be filed. Authorities have not confirmed whether the suspect has any current or former connection to the hospital. The investigation is being led by Wilmington Police with assistance from the Delaware State Police, New Castle County Police, and the FBI’s Baltimore field office. The shooting forced the hospital into lockdown for several hours as law enforcement officers searched the building floor by floor. The lockdown has since been lifted, and normal operations have resumed. Wilmington Mayor John Carney called the violence “senseless” and expressed support for hospital employees and patients who endured the frightening ordeal. ChristianaCare, which operates Wilmington Hospital, temporarily diverted emergency patients while authorities secured the facility. Incoming President and CEO Jennifer Schwartz extended condolences to the victims, their families, and everyone impacted by the tragedy. Hospital employee Brian Pfeffer said he initially mistook the gunshots for firecrackers before realizing the danger and evacuating the building. He described the experience as terrifying and called for action to address gun violence. Several elected officials, including Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer, Sen. Chris Coons, Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, and Rep. Sarah McBride, released statements expressing concern for the victims and gratitude for first responders who responded to the scene.#fyp #viral
