A suspect has been arrested after a double sho0ting on Tuesday afternoon left one person de@d inside Wilmington Hospital in Delaware.
Wilmington police say a 23-year-old man was taken into custody in Philadelphia Tuesday night. Charges and extradition to Delaware are pending.
Various law enforcement agencies swarmed an area in the city’s Olney section around North 9th Street between Lindley Avenue and West Wellens Street.
Police towed a Toyota RAV4 from the scene and took the man into custody around 9:30 p.m.
Investigators have not released the suspect’s identity.
The condition of the second person who was sh0t is not being released at this time, nor is the identity of the victims.
Wilmington Hospital was placed on lockdown after the sho0ting, but that has since been lifted.
Officers were called to the facility in the 500 block of W. 14th Street around 3:30 p.m.
Wilmington police say they believe this was a targeted, isolated incident.
Law enforcement sources tell ABC News that preliminary information indicates the incident began when one hospital employee sh0t two other employees.
ChristianaCare, which operates the hospital, said in an emailed statement it was diverting patients from its emergency department and “taking all appropriate steps to ensure the safety of our patients, caregivers and visitors.”
