… where UD was born (her father was a Hopkins post-doc at the time) has always sat in a dangerous neighborhood.
In a breaking story, a doctor there has been shot, with the shooter still in the hospital.
No word yet on the condition of the doctor.
***********************************
More details. Doctor is in critical condition, and the gunman is holed up in a locked room on the eighth floor. He apparently has a hostage who may be a relative of his.
A nurse who said she was on the floor at the time of the shooting said that the shooter was upset about the medical treatment of his mother. He was threatening to jump out of a window, she said.
“I started running,” she said. “When you hear gunshots you run.”

My friend Courtney, the rock climber and competitive frisbee player, works at Hopkins, and Gchats me the following:
they’ve caught the guy
doctor expected to make it
i’m in fells point about 10 blocks south
but i work with the executive director of news and information for JHU
he’s four desks away
doctor is in surgery now
we are all asking ourselves [how the guy got past the hospital entrance with a gun]
i was going to go to the hospital to give blood today
looks like that won’t be happening
*************************
UD is grateful to Courtney.
*************************
Update: Earlier reports about the shooter were wrong. He hasn’t been caught. Courtney writes:
police scanner is discussing “ongoing unresolved tactical situation”
************************************
Another update: I’m told (this is unconfirmed) that the doctor is out of surgery and in stable condition.
