Gunman wounds 3 at Alabama hospital before being fatally shot, police say.

[Chucky]

WTF is going on lately. Maybe the Mayans were right regarding the 21st.

Authorities in Alabama say a man opened fire in a hospital, wounding an officer and two employees before he was fatally shot by police.
Birmingham Police Sgt. Johnny Williams says the officer and employees suffered injuries that are not considered life-threatening.


The gunman reportedly opened fire as the victims were coming off the elevator. A second police officer came around the corner and shot and killed the gunman, MyFoxAL.com reports.
Williams says police were called because a man with a gun was walking through St. Vincent's Hospital on Saturday morning. The hospital issued a "Code Silver" using the intercom which alerts the staff that there is harm or threat with a weapon.


Police are hoping surveillance video taken on the floor will help them determine what happened. A hospital spokeswoman told MyFoxAL.com that employees go through security training to deal with incidents like this.
Detectives are still working to determine why the armed man was in the hospital.

This shit is very disturbing. Children are being killed even in China.

BEIJING (AP) — A man wielding a knife wounded 22 children and one adult outside a primary school in central China as students were arriving for classes on Friday, the police said.

The attack, in the village of Chengping in Henan Province, happened shortly before 8 a.m., said a police officer from Guangshan County, where the village is located.
The attacker, Min Yingjun, 36, was subdued by security guards and taken into custody by the police, said the officer, who declined to give her name, which is customary among Chinese civil servants. Guards have been posted at schools across China after a spate of attacks in recent years.

A Guangshan County hospital administrator said there were no deaths among the nine students admitted to the hospital, although two badly wounded children were transferred to better-equipped hospitals outside the county.

A doctor at Guangshan’s hospital of traditional Chinese medicine said that seven students had been admitted there, but that none were seriously injured.
It was not clear how old the wounded children were, but Chinese primary school students are generally 6 to 11.

A notice on the Guangshan County government’s Web site confirmed the number of wounded and said an emergency response team had been set up to investigate the stabbings.
No motive was given for the attack, which resembled a string of similar assaults against Chinese schoolchildren in 2010 that killed nearly 20 and wounded more than 50. The most recent such attack took place in August, when a man broke into a middle school in the southern city of Nanchang and stabbed two students before fleeing.

Most of the attackers have been mentally disturbed men involved in personal disputes or unable to adjust to the rapid pace of social change in China, underscoring grave weaknesses in the antiquated Chinese medical system’s ability to diagnose and treat psychiatric illness.

In one of the worst attacks, a man described as an unemployed, middle-aged doctor killed eight children with a knife in March 2010 to vent his anger over a thwarted romantic relationship.

I think if mom had a mentally unstable son, she had an obligation to remove the guns from the house.

Looks to me she was in the total denial mode. Who really wants to accept your child is unstable?.
