An Evanston Hospital security guard was wounded in a shooting in the hospital’s emergency department Thursday night, police said.
Around 7:30 p.m., the Evanston Police Department’s crisis response team responded to the 1700 block of Sherman Avenue for a report of a 28-year-old man who appeared to be suffering from “an unknown mental health condition,” and he was voluntarily taken to the hospital, at 2650 Ridge Ave., for an evaluation, Evanston police said.
The man became agitated while nurses were assisting with his intake, leading the hospital security officer to enter the room, police said. The man allegedly reached into his belongings, pulled out a gun and fired three to four shots just before 8 p.m., police said.
The security officer suffered a gunshot wound that was not considered life-threatening, police said.
The hospital was placed on lockdown, and the 28-year-old was taken into custody, police said.
