ENID, Okla. –
Authorities say the violence began as a possible domestic dispute at a nearby Enid residence before escalating at the hospital.
When officers arrived at Integris Health, investigators said the suspect fired a round outside the emergency room, then went inside and opened fire.
The gunman shot and killed an adult male who was not a patient or a hospital employee, investigators confirmed.
Enid police then returned fire, killing the suspect.
Hunter McKee with the OSBI said law enforcement acted quickly to stop the gunman.
“We’re very fortunate that no one else was hit. This could have been a lot worse. We’re fortunate officers ended the threat as quickly as they did,” McKee said.
