Security officers disarmed a man who fired a rifle inside a The Villages, Fla., Veteran Affairs facility, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
An Army veteran entered The Villages VA Outpatient Clinic with an AM-15 rifle and backpack. He bypassed hospital security officers and began banging on the door of an exam room where a doctor was with a patient.
The gun was discharged once while the doctor and another staff member attempted to disarm and restrain him. A second shot was fired after the hospital security officers joined the effort, although no one was injured during the incident.
Following the incident, all 250 hospital staff members and 150 patients inside the building were evacuated and the clinic was closed for the day.
