A doctor is being hailed a hero for stopping a patient who opened fire in the emergency room of a veterans hospital in South Florida on Wednesday night.
The doctor was shot in the neck, and another hospital employee was grazed by a bullet, according to Justin Fleck, assistant special agent in charge at the FBI's Miami field office. "I'm not going to release his name at this time, but he's doing well, and he did a heroic thing today," Fleck told reporters Wednesday night."Probably saved a lot of lives."
"No one else was harmed and the suspect is in law enforcement custody," the spokesperson told ABC News in a statement Wednesday night."The facility is secure and will remain operational for scheduled appointments and procedures tomorrow."
