Security measures at Rady Children’s Hospital have been heightened after a staffer’s alleged threats to carry out a shooting rampage at the Serra Mesa (Calif.) medical center, according to an article on the Times of San Diego website.
A temporary restraining order states that a hospital pharmacist reportedly threatened to “shoot up” his workplace and “come burn it down,” and had bragged to co-workers about owning a cache of guns.
In response to the allegations, the San Diego Police Department took the man into custody and admitted him to a psychiatric hospital for a mental health evaluation.
During a search of the pharmacist's Chula Vista home, officers seized 13 rifles and handguns, along with about 136,000 rounds of ammunition, according to the city attorney’s office.
