While hospital shootings are rare, they do occur, says Bryon I. Callies Jr., deputy chief security officer and trauma center operations administrator at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. For example, a 2018 article in The Associated Press reports four individuals died following a 2018 shooting at Mercy Hospital & Medical Center in Chicago, and a husband shot his wife at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York. In 2017, a shooting occurred at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center psychiatric services emergency room.
The 2022 International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety Foundation crime survey revealed that U.S. hospital violent crime increased significantly in 2021.According to Campus Safety Magazine's 2022 article on the survey: "Murders, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults increased to a record 2.5 incidents per 100 beds in 2021, which was a 47% increase compared to 2020 when the rate of violent crime was 1.7 per 100 beds. The latest findings are particularly troubling because the rate of violent crime in U.S. hospitals in 2020 was also a record."Thus, despite the overall infrequency of violent gun incidents, the trend is increasing. Callies indicates the violence severity level also has increased throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, hospital threat management is crucial.
