There are still very few clues concerning a shooting that took place in broad daylight. Omaha Police say it appears the victim was chosen at random. Shot in the middle of a busy hospital parking lot.
Half of the parking lot at Immanuel Medical Center was wrapped in crime scene tape and dozens of officers and hospital security officers did crowd control and searched for clues.
Omaha Police confirmed Tuesday morning that a shooting of the victim was shot in the chest around 1:30 p.m. Monday. It’s an unlikely scene and one never thought possible to unfold at a hospital.
Hospital workers and residents of the normally quiet neighborhood said the broad daylight shooting is disturbing and scares many hospital employees who go there every day.

What about people who bought homes within walking distance of the hospital, thinking it was the safest place to be in the city?
“I thought I moved away from all the trouble for the most part,” said Carlina Thompson.
“Actually buying this house, I was thinking that the hospital’s right there so if something comes up we can always have somewhere to run,” Thompson said.
Adrienne Grundy and her family have lived in the same neighborhood about two years. The shooting also has Grundy coming to grips with what at one time seemed unthinkable.

However, it proves that anything can happen just about anywhere.
Right now police are not sure if it was a robbery attempt or exactly what caused the shooting to take place at the hospital and are being tight lipped about details.
Police have still not released the victim’s age, name, whether or not she was an employee of Immanuel, a patient or just there visiting someone.

Although the victim was shot at Immanuel Medical Center, she was rushed to Creighton University Medical Center for treatment.
The hospital is a trauma center with staff trained specifically to treat patients with extreme injuries.
The gunman is still at large. Anyone with information, should call police at 444-7867.

Man shoots son, boys mother and kills himself at Florida hospital http://www.privateofficer.com
By Dana Treen, The Times-Union
Jacksonville FLA. June 20 2008
A father who shot his 11-year-old son and the boy’s mother in a Jacksonville hospital parking garage Thursday died after turning the gun on himself, police said
Police said the man and the woman were in an ongoing domestic dispute that erupted in gunfire about 5:30 p.m. at Baptist Medical Center. The shooting occurred as the three were leaving a hospital entrance to the garage.
The boy was in fair condition at Baptist and his mother was taken to the Shands Jacksonville trauma unit in critical condition, said Chief Rick Graham of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Graham said the boy’s father was the shooter but did not know if he had carried the gun into the hospital or had retrieved it in the parking lot. He said a nurse had escorted them out of the hospital.
He said the couple and their son were at Baptist where the boy was being treated Wednesday night. Graham did not disclose the names of the man or the two victims or if the couple were married, but said the three were from out of state. He did not say what the boy was being treated for.
Other family members were arriving at the hospital after the shooting, Graham said.
Police closed off the garage following the shooting.
“I heard the bang, bang,” said Jack Lynch, a visitor to the hospital who was in the garage at the time. “Then you heard bang bang, bang bang.”
Lynch said he saw blood trailing from a pool in front of an elevator to where about five cars were parked. It appeared as if the shooting happened at the elevator, he said.
He said he saw rescuers take the woman inside the hospital.
Others also reported hearing multiple gunshots.
Hospital secretary Melissa Gaynor said she was in another building when she heard three or four shots then another series of shots and could see security guards heading to the parking garage at the emergency room.
The garage is below the children and adult emergency area. The hospital is at 800 Prudential Drive on the Southbank.
