The New York Police Department responded to an active shooter situation Friday afternoon inside a Bronx hospital.
The gunman, Dr. Henry Michael Bello, a 45-year-old family medicine doctor, was said to be wearing a white doctor’s coat and carrying an M16 type rifle. He died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound after wounding five people and killing one woman inside the hospital, according to Fox News.
The NYPD’s most heavily armed units responded after receiving reports of shots fired on the hospital’s 16th floor. The police discovered a trail of blood leading from the second floor of the hospital up to the 16th floor, where the shooter was believed to be barricaded.
A staff member told NBC News that the hospital is under lockdown, and footage from the NBC chopper shows a number of NYPD vehicles backed up in the streets surrounding the hospital and officers walking on the hospital’s roof.
