An active shooter incident disrupted the calm at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital north of Detroit on Thursday morning. Around 7:08 a.m., gunfire erupted in the parking garage, prompting fear and confusion after reports that someone had been shot.
Authorities confirmed the suspect was a hospital employee who opened fire on a coworker. The victim, a 25-year-old man, was shot twice in the arm and treated in the emergency department, where he was listed in stable condition. While the injuries were not life-threatening, the emotional impact was immediate.
The hospital quickly activated emergency protocols. Staff were instructed to “shelter in place,” patients were moved away from exposed areas, and visitors were told to remain where they were. Despite the tension, doctors and nurses worked to continue care while prioritizing safety.
A large law enforcement response followed, including patrol units, SWAT teams, drones, and canine units. Police conducted a floor-by-floor sweep and later said the incident appeared to be a “targeted workplace dispute,” not a random attack. Officials confirmed there was “no ongoing threat” after the suspect was taken into custody.
Hospital leaders later announced counseling services for staff and increased security measures. Though only one person was physically injured, officials acknowledged the lasting emotional toll. The incident renewed concerns about workplace violence in healthcare and emphasized the importance of safety, mental health support, and recovery for everyone affected.
