Birmingham Police Sgt Johnny Williams says the officer and employees suffered injuries that are not considered
life-threatening.
Williams says police were called because a man with a gun was walking through St Vincent’s Hospital today morning. When he was confronted by officers, he started shooting and woundedone of the officers. That’s when the second officer shot and killed the man.
