Early Thursday morning, Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, located 24 miles north of Detroit, faced chaos after reports of an active shooter around 7 a.m. Law enforcement issued a shelter-in-place order while hospital staff barricaded themselves for safety.
A 25-year-old man was shot twice in the arm and treated; his injuries are stable. Authorities described the incident as a targeted attack by a hospital employee, who fired five shots in the parking lot, one hitting a nearby vehicle. The suspect later surrendered and was arrested at a home in Macomb Township.
Hospital staff described terrifying moments during the lockdown, seeing police with guns drawn and fearing for their safety. Social media warnings urged the public to avoid the area, and nearby schools went into lockdown.
The incident shocked the Troy community, highlighting the vulnerability of public spaces, especially hospitals. While the immediate threat was contained, it raises urgent discussions on workplace safety, gun violence, and how to better protect employees and the public in healthcare settings.
