Authorities have arrested Deion Patterson, 24, who is accused of fatally shooting a woman and injuring four others inside an Atlanta medical facility...
Hours after the shooting, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens told reporters the surviving victims “are fighting for their lives at Grady Hospital.”
“Those families, those families,” she said, starting to sob. “They’re hurting because they wouldn’t give my son his damn Ativan. Those families lost their loved ones because he had a mental break because they wouldn’t listen to me.”Ankle monitor bill spurred by Methodist Dallas hospital shooting heads to Gov. Abbott
In a statement, the U.S. Coast Guard said Patterson had joined the service in 2018 and was discharged from active duty in January. He was an electrician’s mate second class at the time. Hale saw firetrucks but didn’t realize anything was wrong until after she parked and found the elevator wasn’t working. Hale said she called the operating room manager, who told her there was an active shooter and she should go back to her car.
