Police Kill Gunman in Hospital

Olympia, Washington:

• At about 2:13 AM on Saturday, August 15, 2009, Olympia Police received a 9-1-1 call from the Security Office at Providence St. Peters Hospital. Officers were requested to help the Hospital staff deal with a patient who was being unruly and who was possibly armed.
  
  Officers arrived at the Hospital and contacted a 43-year old man in the Emergency Room who had been brought into the Hospital with a head injury.
  
  The officers searched the man and found him to be in possession of two loaded handguns. The guns were confiscated.
  
  The subject remained in the ER with police present while treatment for his head injury continued.
  
  At about 4:15 AM, the subject was scheduled for a medical test, but, when Hospital staff began to get him ready for the test, he again became agitated and unruly. The officer who was on guard entered the treatment room to assist the ER staff, and, when he did, the subject produced another gun. The officer and the subject wrestled for the weapon. During the struggle, the officer fired one shot at the subject. Hospital staff immediately began treatment of the subject for the gunshot wound, but they were unable to preserve his life.

Evidently, the jagoff knew the gun would show up on the x-rays. An excellent job by the officer on guard duty.

But concealing three guns? During an ambulance ride, triage and at least one search? This must have been one large individual hiding stuff in his fat flaps. Search, search and search again - one gun, look for two. Two guns, assume three. Bad guy goes to the morgue, so that's a good thing.
