Hacienda HealthCare made headlines earlier this year when a patient in a coma was discovered to be pregnant, despite not having been conscious long enough to have been impregnated consensually.
Daily Caller: Police shot a gunman Monday at the same Phoenix, Arizona, healthcare facility where a comatose woman gave birth nine months after being sexually assaulted by a staff member.
Three off-duty officers — two of whom work at Hacienda HealthCare and one of whom works for the Florence Police Department — discovered an armed man pointing his gun at a woman in the parking lot of the center’s nursing facility at 5:30 a.m., according to AZfamily.com.
The officers were patrolling the area when they heard the victim screaming. After arriving at the parking lot, Phoenix Police spokesman Sgt. Armando Carbajal said the officers saw the woman lying on the ground and the gunman standing over her.
When the officers approached the assailant, he immediately attempted to flee while continuing to shoot at the woman he had been standing over, Carbajal said, but was then shot by the off-duty Florence officer.
Hacienda HealthCare said in a statement that the unnamed suspect is an ex-husband of one of the facility’s staffers. He has since been hospitalized and is in critical condition with non-fatal injuries. The police department said no officers were injured during the shooting. more here
It doesn’t mention the status of the woman – at whom the suspect had been shooting while standing over her.
“Hacienda Healthcare”…that sounds like a place wounded Bad Hombres go to get patched up. Is it affiliated with the Maduro Medical Center?
Non fatal huh? That’s too bad. In situations like this the police should be encouraged to get closer, use up their ammo.
