Calif. children’s hospital increases security after shooting threat

A staffer’s allegedly threatened to carry out a shooting rampage


Security measures at Rady Children’s Hospital have been heightened after a staffer’s alleged threats to carry out a shooting rampage at the Serra Mesa (Calif.)  medical center, according to an article on the Times of San Diego website.

A temporary restraining order states that a hospital pharmacist reportedly threatened to “shoot up” his workplace and “come burn it down,” and had bragged to co-workers about owning a cache of guns.

In response to the allegations, the San Diego Police Department took the man into custody and admitted him to a psychiatric hospital for a mental health evaluation.

During a search of the pharmacist's Chula Vista home, officers seized 13 rifles and handguns, along with about 136,000 rounds of ammunition, according to the city attorney’s office.
