All I know is if I was there and armed there would have been shots fired. Some maniac comes in with a gun pointed at screaming nurses and family members and starts to herd them down a corridor is a threat in my book. Turns out is was an a drill that nobody there knew about? :banghead::banghead::banghead: <-- triple head into wall. What would you guys do if you were armed? Did the off duty cop feel safe in a terrorizing the general public because there are signs saying "no firearms allowed"?
But in Monday’s incident, which occurred in a unit that houses the hospital’s sickest patients, nurses, patients and their families did not know it was a drill, said Renee Ruiz, organizer of the California Nurses Association, which represents staff at the hospital.
“There are significant safety issues here,” Ruiz said. “We would never condone a drill like this. We put the safety of the patients and nurses and hospital staff first and foremost.”
Clearly the safety of family members visiting their dying loved ones was first and foremost!!
