Now let's turn to the scary, intense moments that unfolded inside Wilmington Hospital yesterday afternoon as SWAT teams stormed in and placed everyone on lockdown. Action News reporter Brianna Gallagher is live in Wilmington with reaction from patients there, Brianna. Yes, sir. And the hospital is back open this morning. We've been seeing hospital employees coming and going. It's an entirely different scene here compared to yesterday afternoon when they were on lockdown and the entire surrounding area was flooded with police. All these cops were coming in and they said, Get out of here. Get in the bathroom. And they put all of us in the bathroom, including all the medical workers. Law enforcement swarmed Wilmington Hospital in Delaware yesterday afternoon for an active shooter. I was in the emergency room and you could hear the shots go off. Video from a patient inside shows what she saw from her hospital bed. Law enforcement with long guns and tactical gear canvassing the hallway. People living nearby at first didn't know what was going on, but they knew it was serious. SWAT vehicle, several police or a bunch of police officers, all three different counties. For nearly four hours, the hospital was on lockdown as SWAT searched for the suspect. All patients and visitors were told to shelter in place in the nearest room. Sources tell ABC News that it was an employee that shot two other hospital employees, killing one of them. It's just heartbreaking, right? I mean, it was very scary. Chopper six was overhead as authorities brought people out from the hospital. We started to see the hospital employees sort of flooding out on that was concerning. Also, many reuniting with loved ones after a traumatic few hours, not knowing how things would turn out. Violence or loss of life in our city is unacceptable. It's particularly distressing when an incident like this occurs in a hospital whose fundamental purpose is to treat injuries and save lives. Now, there's still a lot of questions here. Most importantly, how did someone get in the hospital with a gun off camera? We spoke with some visitors. They say when you enter the hospital, you have to go through a metal detector and you're also greeted with security guards. Of course, all this remains under investigation. We're live here in Wilmington. Brianna Gallagher, Channel six Action News, Sarah. Yes. So a lot of questions about all of this. Brianna, thank you.
