Fox News
A manhunt is underway in New York after a gunman shot a man awaiting treatment in the emergency room of a hospital.
"This was a cowardly act in a space where New Yorkers come for healing and care. Our health care heroes swiftly took care of the shooting victim and took actions to protect the other patients in the waiting room. Our immediate focus is on caring for the patient and ensuring the safety of our staff. We are working closely with the NYPD as they conduct their investigation," the hospital said in a statement after the shooting. My residents and families of the #Bronx deserve to be safe just as anyone else. It’s unacceptable that children are shot in car seats with their parents and patients shot waiting in emergency rooms. This is madness! Out of control. We are in a State of Emergency 🚨! It’s heartbreaking that as our community is processing the shooting at Jacobi Hospital, we learned that Officer Mora had succumbed to his wounds from the shooting this weekend in Harlem. Every life lost is one too many. Praying for the family of our fallen Officer. pic.twitter.com/dmmFB06i7Q
