MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee police are investigating a double shooting inside Aurora Sinai Medical Center that happened early Monday, March 2, around 2:15 a.m. The hospital is located on the corner of 12th and State.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office reports they already had deputies at the hospital for the unrelated transportation of an inmate. They say there was a response to reports of a person with a gun in the emergency room waiting area, with two victims in the area.
A 40-year-old victim was shot and is being treated for a life-threatening gunshot injury, according to police. A second victim, a 38-year-old, is being treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Officers responded and apprehended a 38-year-old man in connection with the incident. Police say there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Sherry Harris lives down the street from the hospital and moved in to be closer to emergency care.
"I was just up here Saturday night in the emergency room, so when I heard about it this morning, I'm like, thank God I wasn't up there," Harris said.
Aurora says they worked with law enforcement in response to the situation, and care is being provided for those affected.
Harris says the security at the hospital is good and is confused as to how a man with a gun got into the emergency room.
"I have to go through a metal detector," Harris said. "That's what I'm trying to figure out, how they got it through the metal detector."
