Police searching for suspect after shooting at NC hospital
Wayne UNC Health Care hospital in Goldsboro was put on a lockdown Sunday night after a shooting that left a visitor with non-life-threatening injuries, a Wayne County spokesman said.
The lockdown at the Eastern North Carolina hospital was lifted at 9:10 p.m., less than an hour after Goldsboro Police and Wayne County Sheriff’s Office responded to an active shooting call at 8:17 p.m., said county spokesman Joel Gillie. They are looking for a suspect who fled the hospital.
Alan Wolf, a UNC Health Care spokesman, said the person the shooter wounded was not an employee.
The hospital was “swept floor-by-floor by a local SWAT team” before the lockdown was lifted and the hospital reopened, Wolf said.
Gillie said they know who the suspect is and the shooting “is domestic in nature.” The shooting remains under investigation.
